The Long Island snake merchant who had 850 live serpents in his garage als🎃o kept alligator carcasses in his freezer.
Richard Parrinello, 44, of Shirley, g♚ot a $250 ticket fꦡrom New York wildlife managers for three little alligator corpses he kept on ice at home, a state wildlife official said Friday.
That’s on top of another $250 ticket for two illegal Burmese p🌱ythons that investigators seized on Thursday from Pa𝔉rrinello’s Auborn Avenue home.
Parrinello refused൲ to comment Friday about the reptile bazaar.
A notice nailed to the g💛ar꧋age shows a hand gripping a revolver, and reads, “Anyone found here at night will be found in the morning!!!”
Parrinello gets to keep his 848 lawful snakes and some turtles and spiders at home until he and town officialsꦆ work out a way to safely relocate the creatures.
“Could he go rent a storefront somewhere and open Reptiles R Us? Absolutely,🎃” said David Moran, deputy town attorney for Brookhaven.
