Show Some Common Sense, Please.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- A Kentucky man wasn't around when officers seized reptiles from his home. That's because he was at a hospital having fingers amputated after a snakebite, his wife says.

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources seized seven rattlesnakes, a gaboon viper, a king cobra, an iguana, two monitor lizards, two alligators, a boa constrictor and a python.


The man is stupid, certainly, but police went overboard by seizing all of the pets. Unless Kentucky has specific laws against them, iguanas, boa contrictors and pythons are non-venomous and commonly sold as pets.
