"MISSING REPTILES FROM BSR -BOLO!(be on the look out for the initial impaired!)--CURRENTLY MISSING FROM OUR STORE AS OF TODAY-from our BSR corporate holdings and breeding stock

1 two headed albino honduran milksnake -medusa
2 albino blue tongue skinks-only 2 known to exist in the united states
Seymore-my pet eyeless ball python given to me
APPROX 250k worth of breeding ball pythons including my ...famous male pied that says Jesus down his back.
APPROX 20k worth of ball morph juveniles

total approx value--$570,000 worth-thats right---almost HALf a million. PLEASE RESHARE AND PASS IT ON---lets get these animals back where they belong.

PHOTOS AVAILABLE OF MOST-where abouts unknown---any information leading to the recovery of these animals will be rewarded. We got cleaned out, so please be on the lookout for these animals. They are near and dear to bsr and medusa requires very specialized care. Our breeders are cycled as well, so the loss from these animals being taken without permission could be devastating to our company."

Wow. That's crazy. Good luck finding this person or people.

I will caution that there is a lot of weird information being passed around. I do believe the recent report is the most accurate, but I wouldn't trust anything off of the Facebook page right now. First story was a hacker, then divorce, then all employees let go, now a massive inside-job theft? Let's wait a bit before jumping to any conclusions.

That said, Ben is asking for people not to buy any sentinel or super sentinel stuff until things settle down a bit. Also, it doesn't hurt keeping an eye out for the potential missing animals. The fact that the two-headed milksnake was potentially stolen almost makes me physically ill with fury, but if someone snatched a critter that unique it will eventually be found.

An employee on bp.net stated that it was marital. The animals weren't stolen, they were relocated, by his partner & STBX.

From what I understand, the theft could be a ruse to avoid any additional assets being siezed or converted into cash which may become part of a litigation , now that the decedent died from axphyxiation directly related to the roaches..

The death of this person leaves two children, a divorced wife, no alimony nor child support. I am sure that its just a question of time before a suit is filed on behalf of the family of the decedent.

Filing a false police report on a theft and a burglary claim is a crime in Fla as in most states. Its to much of a coincidence . The case is being tagged as suspicious.

what case? It was told right away the employees and wife moved the animals and weren't stolen. There's no hidden agenda. Ben's wife and employees came online and plainly stated they had moved the animals when Ben wasn't there.

That's a horrible ruse. How is anyone avoiding asset seizure when everyone knows the wife had the animals.

After all, everyone that is connected to the shop knew what happen to the animals right away and told everyone here.
