I agree, people just can't be bothered.

I'll bet in many a case the snake gets neglected and run down. Hungry, sick, and angry. A serpent with Mites can be a very angry critter. Snakes with enteritis, retained shed, RI, Stomatitis, you name it...not happy campers. You wouldn't be either in their situation. I wrote a care sheet about such things many years back. I'll have to find a copy and get it on the net somehow.

Sometimes it's like with the parrots. Once an animal turns mean, they never revert back to gentle. It's like they never forget or forgive the last bad episode/trauma they've endured. Loose all trust. Snake suddenly becomes untrustworthy and "dangerous" . Must get rid of it. Where has all the love gone.

Other reasons for getting rid of an exotic include relationship changes. New girlfriend/boyfriend. She/he won't have it. Or, new baby. Understanding spouse suddenly intolerant of snake around infant.

One more that comes to mind is change of address. Can't take. No room. New landlord will not allow. Etc.
