Perhaps not but he is responsible for yet another public relation debacle for our entire hobby by sponsoring this swine fest in the first place. I mean jeez Ben has been a positive force as far as i can tell in this business for ages this kind on of shock value event is well beneath him (so i thought).This whole event was tasteless, disgusting and unprofessional and should never have happened period. So in my mind although not NECESSARILY at this point legally responsible for the death of a human being he is certainly responsible for putting a few more nails in our collective coffin as legal law abiding reptile keepers. Surely we can do better than this as a collective group than roach eating contests if we want to change our image as freaks and anti-social pariahs.
