Its obvious the life of the snake isn't that much of a loss to the poster. Why would I start lecturing them about what it means to the snake population? There is little chance he/she is going to kick himself after reading a post about the value of the snake's life. I'm pretty sure he knows that killing something means its life is gone. However, its likely he didn't know the snake was potentially very rare and worth a lot of money to certain people. So maybe after reading my post he would kick himself after finding out all the money he could have made. Not likely, but possible.

That is why I posted it the way I did. Not because I think money is more important than the needless killing.
