I can't be bothered to keep up with the kinkatopia drama regularly, so here's a summary;
>Still feeding the feral cat that keeps pumping out babies
>recently adopting out the latest set of feral kittens, keeping one/a few
>video that shames people rehoming to her
>mentions losing job, getting divorced, losing 2 pets recently
>also feeding animals high fructose corn syrup instead of just fruit, because that worked so well for Americans
>Brought her flying squirrels inside for the first time in years, and one dies the first night.
Currently she is too traumatized to talk about it, I'm sure it has nothing to do with her several predators in the house which according to her website was why she moved them outside in the first place.
>got a red footed tortoise from south florida wildlife center, and I am now just learning she has a pit of red footed tortoises
I think it might also be doubling as a kinkajou cage
I think that's about caught up

I've got a new one for y'all - Jeffery Leibowitz.
TL;DR -
>Best known for handling venomous snakes (hots) without PPE
>Makes fun of people who are cautious around hots
>Gets an Inland Taipan, the most venomous snake on the planet
>gets bit almost instantly
>Gets antivenom donated by Kentucky Reptile Zoo, despite the shortage
>will have lifelong complications
>cops came to confiscate snakes, noted subpar conditions and holes in tubs large enough for escapes
>No zoos nearby wanted potentially diseased snakes, a family member gave permission to have snakes euthanized
>Jeff later makes an Instagram video gloating about the whole ordeal
Lots of people have bitched about his snake husbandry before this incident - rumors are that his other hots aren't healthy enough to be active enough to land a bite, hence why this brand new snake was able to make contact.
