Has admitted he has 5 alts on FR, with which he farms research notes in addition to the usual multiaccounting behavior.

Are 3 of his known alts. PLEASE do not harass him, but instead, REPORT him for multiaccounting, as he's bragged about it in a public discord server.
In addition to multiaccounting, he hoards and neglects animals.
TW for animal abuse & neglect.
Namely reptiles, and justifies his hoarding by claiming its his way of coping... with a breakup 😬 He has mentioned that he has his geckos sleep in his bed next to him, which is a massive safety risk for such small animals that are not only fragile, but require consistent heat. He has also consistently mentioned letting them just run along his floor.
This is his self-proclaimed "egg laying" setup for an african fat tailed gecko:
These are the normal setups he uses for his breeding leopard geckos, of which he has 6-7:
This person is in their late 20's and has been approached about his husbandry before. Instead of improving the care of his animals, he increased the magnitude of abuse by going from owning 1 gecko, to owning 6+ in these same conditions. Souha has a massive persecution complex and blames all backlash he gets on "being a furry."
If you are not familiar with reptiles, here is a very very basic list of what is wrong with these:
Too small for the animal to lay out straight.
No space for the animal to move off of the heat tape fully, or lay down without touching the heat tape.
No room for the animal to escape laying in its own feces or urates.
No hides whatsoever.
No humidity control whatsoever.
Water or food bowls either too tall for animal to comfortably use, or not present altogether.
No present indication of a thermostat or hygrometer, missing thermostat probe required for temp regulation & prevention of burns (from these photos at least.)
What he can do to improve his care?
Take the advice to beign with.
Reduce the number of animals he has, or rehome all of them since he has repetitive hoarding behavior.
Improve the care for his animals, including: Larger enclosures (20G Long per animal ABSOLUTE MINIMUM); proper substrate like slate tile, linoleum, excavator clay (Paper towel is choice for understimulated geckos to put in their mouths and possibly eat, and can be unsafe), add 3 hides at MINIMUM and include 1 humid hide, plus a dig box for proper egg laying if he insists on breeding; Humidity gauge, Thermostat AND TEMPERATURE PROBES for these enclosures; Food and water dishes that are of an ADEQUATELY ACCESSIBLE HEIGHT for the animals.
Once again, PLEASE do not harass him, but instead, REPORT him for multiaccounting. Just beware that this user acts volatile in discord/other chat room spaces and should probably be avoided.
