We're talking about freshly laid EGGS. Nothing in the egg is going to feel anything at that time. Reptile rescues across the country are having to decline Burmese left and right because they can't find enough homes for all of the surrendered ones. They sell cheap when small and get big fast - it's pretty uncommon for a SMALL Burmese to show up in rescue. The average person can't - or isn't willing - to keep one for the life span of a Burmese. Are you prepared to find homes for 36 adult Burmese pythons? When your rescue is so full that you can't take in another animal, would you then consider euthanizing an adult Burm (that the current owner is keeping in bad conditions) because you just don't have space for one more animal?



Yes, there were buyers for those 36, but where or how do you think they are living ten years from now? I can't even think of 36 people in my area, which is pretty thick with hobbyists, herpetoculturists and experienced zoo keepers, who would be willing and able to care for an adult Burmese.
