Confiscated Venomous Snakes En Route To Reptile Zoo

More than a dozen illegal poisonous snakes are on their way to a Kentucky zoo after being confiscated from a house on the city's east side.

The snakes were dangerous and one reptile expert said they were in the worse condition he's seen in a confiscation. He said malnutrition could make them weaker but abuse could make them more violent.

The investigation was prompted after the owner was bit by one of his snakes and hospitalized.
