Dude, you're supposed to control animals, not hoard them.

850 snakes found at the home of Brookhaven, NY, animal control offcer.

Among the creatures found were two 6-foot Burmese pythons, which are illegal in New York.

The discovery grew out of a workers’ compensation fraud investigation into whether [Richard] Parrinello was working while on disability leave from his town job, said deputy town attorney David J. Moran.

Parrinello had claimed earlier this year that he could not work because of carpal tunnel syndrome in his hands and wrists, town officials said.

Parrinello faces possible termination pending a hearing, town officials said.

He faces multiple charges of owning the pythons and violating town codes by running a business at his home and without a permit.
