I've recently come across information about a man named Rudy Komarek--the self-proclaimed "Cobra King".
He apparantly makes his sickening living from the illegal traffic of venomous snakes in our immediate area--timber rattlesnakes specifically. He goes out--catches them, decimates the local population and sells them all for $100 a piece.
He's been caught once and was served a $2500 fine and 4 month prison sentence--now long since passed and is out doing what he's always done. This man has made his life out of this and it has to stop.
How do i know?? HE HAS A WEBSITE!

He sells snakes, brags about the snakes he's caught, and also sells maps to local hibernacula and offers personal guided tours to specific hibernacula. He operates in NJ, PA, and some of new england, but primarily in NY.
Thus far I've sent messages to NJ DEP and NY DEC, but who knows whether they even have power to act. I guarantee if I came across him while he was emptying out a den at the WaterGap, he'd have alot more to worry about than envenomation.
Anyone with more information or a better way to get this bastard out of the woods and back in prison, please help me out.
This bitch is going DOWN.
