Never said anything about you releasing it outside or not having someone to take it when it gets bigger. But the reality is, I watched your thread over in the monitor forum, and to me it seems like your just someone who get's something because it looks cool for a bit, and then when it gets to be more than you can handle you hand it off to someone else...like you did with the impluse buy monitors. And since we currently own 4 alligators who came from similar predicaments, because they got dumped off at a local rescue organization OR confiscated by animal control, It can be a little frustrating at times. Especially knowing that the reason these animals got dumped is because people don't do the research BEFORE they get the animal. And like the other poster mentioned we have to have the proper permits and have to jump through hoops to keep these animals in our state. Do you have the 9 by 9 enclosure already? Or are you doing what you did with the monitors and shoving this thing into a fish tank you have lying around? Don't take it all personally. But the fact of the matter is, there are those of us that end up cleaning up other people's messes, and it's always the animal that ends up suffering. Just expressing the frustration that comes from continuously getting animals that are drastically undersized and underweight due to improper care.
