We did call the spca. They said they would "look into it". unfortunatly- around here- the focus is more on dogs, cats, farm animals etc- We get quite a few animals from people that need immediate vet care which we pay for and get the proper medications to releve URIs, coccidia, calcium deficencies are the most common- costs us around 75 $ per animal for a vet visit and cal. shot. a lot of times, we can use calcium supp.s and UVB lights.

anyway- to answer your question- I think she should go to jail or at least get handed a pretty heafty fine. I was told to call the SPCA back this weekend to see what they found. I imagine the snake is still in the cage so they should have found something. I did sneak a picture with my phone- don't know if it'll be of any use- especially since i don't pay for the service to get the pics off my phone. I'll post an update on wether or not she gets a fine/jail time, etc- i very seriously doubt it though- there was a dog fighting ring across the street from us for quite a while that the spca and animal control broke up on a weekly basis- nobody ever went to jail- don't know if they got a fine or not....
