Its strange that they chose to steal species that are generally not expensive. I'm thinking either:
A.) They don't know much about reptiles and/or the monetary value of different species
or
B.) They're animal rights activists and are stealing the animals to release them.
Either way, bad news for the animals.

It is great that they had cameras and will catch the thieves.
