This folder shows more of the same. Animals that did not deserve the fate they received.

Normal people would understand when something they've been trying to build is failing. It's hard to imagine that he sees all the death that comes as a byproduct of the world he's created and still is able to think to himself, yeah this is working.

The worst part is, he has no self awareness for how horrible a situation he's created. He's delusioned himself into thinking that what he's doing is a justice for the reptile community, and anyone who supports him is just allowing him to continue doing exactly this- mass production of reticulated pythons, and mass genocide of animals on a scale that the world finally needs to see. 

Adult Male Frozen Alive

At times there were adult male reticulated pythons that Samson deemed "unfit to be sold out of the collection", claiming that no one else was going to safely be able to handle these animals except for him. Though he never actually handled any animals except to take pictures of them when they would lay clutches. Samson was very hands off with his collection This particular male was put into a bag into the freezer. Sam claimed that it was a painless process in which the animal would naturally 'fall asleep'. When the freezer was later opened, it was found that the male had broken out of the bag and tried to escape the freezer, eventually contorting into painful looking spirals and biting down on himself and drawing blood in an attempt to escape death.

It was a common occurrence to see live animals that Samson thought couldn't be saved be put into the freezer alive- most of them were suffering from some sort of sickness despite never being given the chance to be sent to the vet and assessed by a professional. Putting difficult to handle but otherwise perfectly healthy animals in the freezer to die is not the act of someone who loves and respects animals. 

Caracal

This caracal that Samson had purchased was kept in his backyard in a small enclosure, either 10x10 or 15x15. The tub of water that was kept with him was not changed frequently enough, often developing a layer of green algae on the top of it. When this animal died Samson claimed that it was due to the fact that prior to acquiring it, the big cat had been fed Meow Mix its entire life, and that the change to a raw diet of chicken hadn't been enough to turn it around. Whether that was the case or not, it ended up being just another animal stuck in Samson's freezer. 

Rotting Regurg and Dead Female

This particular adult female was fed a meal on a Friday and regurgitated and died sometime over the weekend. Samson often wouldn't go in to check on animals during the weekend, even though he lived at the top of the driveway and was a two minute walk away. She was discovered the following Monday by employees when she smell of death was filling the back building.
Animals dying on Thursday or Friday and not being found till the coming Monday was far too common. 

Tegu Project

In 2021 Samson had made a substantially large sale worth somewhere around $50,000. The employees were excited as well, because this revenue could mean raises, upgraded enclosures for the animals, or general quality of life improvements to the facility.

Instead, Samson turned around and spent the money on a tegu breeding project from Josh Ortiz, and the enclosures that would be needed to house them. Somewhere between 200-300 tegu were brought to the facility. The workload was already impossible to manage, but Samson's greedy nature only saw an extra avenue to potentially make money, claiming that these tegu would just be popping eggs out left and right when breeding season came. The upkeep was impossible. There were a few tegu that even managed to escape and were never caught. These poor animals suffered because of greed and neglect.

Due to improper setup during brumation, there were boxes full of tegu that died. Because neither Samson nor Cassandra were on top of checking on the tegu inside the RV bus that the tegu were being brumated inside, despite it being parked directly next to their house, the dead tegu were not found till they had started to bloat and rot, and the smell permeated to the outside of the bus.
