Yeah $300 a day is rediculous I am guessing they are figuring in wages for 2 or 3 employees per day. That's excessive because once they get them set up they probably only need to tend to them one day per week. Just try telling the IRS you spend $300 a day taking care of your collection and see how far you get, lol.



The way I figure it 100 jumbo rats could probably feed those 79 snakes for 1 week at a cost of about $300-350 per week. So it is quite expensive but I don't know why they always have to exaggerate when the reality is shocking enough.



If they had to set up a whole new room that would be expensive but if they hold onto the snakes for a couple months and bill/fine him at $300/day they will turn quite a nice profit on the deal. Also if they are looking for heat lamps that's a sign that they don't really know how to take care of these animals very well themselves. Besides aren't pythons and boas supposed to be able to survive outdoors over the lower 2/3rds of the US? They really shouldn't need any supplemental heat, right?
