Careless handling from a person who obviously has no business owning hot stuff. Although heavy gloves are certainly acceptable in certain applications, not the way that this person was so callously handling these snakes...ridiculous. And people oftentimes get upset at me when I say "99.99% of people wishing to own a venomous reptiles, shouldn't"...go figure.
