Snake Taming Gone Wrong

Hoarding is a serious mental problem found in people across the world. A seriously entertaining mental problem that is. People feed on their ability to compare themselves to others in order to raise their own self esteem, so it is only natural that shows like Confessions: Animal Hoarding would be wildly popular. Recently featured on the show was Patrick, who owns over 20 different snakes and reptiles which, more often than not, are about double his own size. One morning, while taking one of his twelve foot snakes for a walk, Patrick was attacked by his own pet, and struggled to wrestle the snake into submission in front of his young son and sister, Shauna. Episodes such as this inform the general public about disorders like Patrick's and the harmful effects they can have on both the victim's on the people around them.
