In the comments sections on some of the articles out there I see lots of posts from families of his former students saying that he was a really great teacher, and introduced many kids to animals. Not saying that this is ok. It makes me very sad, in fact. And very worried about what sort of impact this will have on the reptile community. I think he was just like a lot of us, but grief can have horrible effects on people, and unfortunately it's the animals that suffered because of it.

Yes, no one is going to say this is okay. But reading your post I guess it makes sense that going through a tragedy or traumatic experience might have caused him to lose sight of his snakes.... But still it would have made more sense for him to just sell everything off if he couldn't care for them.
