He had transformed his home into a giant terrarium.
During a check on June 15, 2021, the gendarmes had discovered in a resident of Douarnenez (Finistère) 44 pythons and several iguanas which were distributed in six terrariums.
If some species of NAC (new pets) do not require authorization, this is not the case for pythons whose detention is subject to prior authorization and a certificate of maintenance capacity.
Not having these documents, this young forty-something therefore illegally possessed these reptiles.
Judged for these facts Monday in Quimper, the individual was sentenced to eight months in prison suspended as well as a fine of 150 euros.
He will also have to compensate the Finistère fire and rescue department, which had been forced to call in a reptile expert, up to 850 euros.
Finally, he will have to compensate the Brigitte Bardot Foundation and the Robin des Bois association up to 300 euros.
