A man who cared for a menagerie of reptiles at his home in Southern California has been arrested.
CBS Los Angeles reports Todd Kates was arrested Wednesday for cruelty to animals in Thousand Oaks. Illegal alligators in the swimming pool, buckets of cobras, rattlesnakes, vipers and Gila Monsters were hauled away from Kates' property.
Officials with the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) and other agencies served search warrants at two locations in the area where Kates, a state permit holder, was in possession of "dozens of very dangerous and highly regulated species of reptiles," according to a news release.

Authorities say a criminal investigation was launched after a Cape cobra was spotted in a local neighborhood for the second time in three years, which led to two search warrants being issued. The neighbor drove a car over the snake, killing it, said animal control spokeswoman Don Barre.
Cape cobras are extremely dangerous. Some experts say the venom from one bite could kill six people.
As part of the investigation, a baby American alligator was removed from the residence.

Guns don't kill people...this guy's snakes do!
Innovative home protection since Cali doesn't want people to be armed. (and ya gotta admit, those snakes ain't got arms)

Not to sound like an idiot but can someone remind me how many a menagerie is?

It means it has enough venom per bite to kill a human 6 times over.

Stranger things have happened. One surgeon managed a 300% mortality rate from one operation.

I would pay good money to make sure you're part of the experiment.

A menagerie is a collection, 'tard.

I don't think it's a set number thing. It just means he had a collection of different reptiles, though most were probably various species of snake.
