Curt was a very close friend of mine and you can add me to the hearsay if you like. I'm the zoo guy Curt sold a Golds Tree Cobra too in November.
I have to post on this as this is the last thing Curt would have wanted, internet crap. Thats all this thread is.
Curt called alot of his friends the weekend before his death, including me and unfortunately, I did not get to speak with him.
Facts: Curt
SOLD most of his collection to Robbie at Glades this fall. Look at Robbies MySpace page and you will see most of Curts snakes there.
Gold Cape Cobras, Gaboons, Water Cobras. His male King Cobra was sold to a zoo in Texas. etc. My zoo Bought a male Golds Tree cobra from him.
Fauci and Keszey had nothing to do with any of it after his death.
So
MOST of his collection was sold by Curt. When he died there were only a large handful of snakes left.
Two people picked up all the snakes and cages at his moms house, one for sure did not have a venomous permit, I don't know about the other.
I spoke with his mom and she said they did not want any money for his snakes but appreciated all the phone calls from his friends. Though whatever happens to any of the remaining snakes, the money should go to his family, whether they want it or not. As thats what Curt would have wanted. Period.
FFWC confiscated his snakes from the non permitted person and placed them in a licensed facility yesterday. Hopefully, none of the snakes were sold before FFWC got involved. If so, I hope they track them all.
Investigation is still ongoing.
So shut this thread down... Curt would have been furious to see this crap!
