God, that's just appalling. Thank goodness there's folks like you looking out for reptiles and other unlucky critters. I think people do ignore reptiles because they're not cuddly companion animals, and partly because they don't bark or mewl or maul neighborhood children to death when they're neglected, but really, people will always find someone or something to be cruel to.

I recently rescued a filthy, matted, geriatric, obese, arthritic Newfoundland Dog from a city pound. Her previous owner had limited mobility and rather than calling a rescue, had apparently just kept her in a basement literally sitting in her own filth. She was so weak she could barely eat or walk to the corner and back, and she stank so bad I had to drive with my head out the window. And animal control just put her in a concrete pen and gave her to the first rube who walked in off the street with fifteen dollars, which in this case happened to be me on a day I was dressed like a nineteen year old hoodlum. It's times like that I really do hope Karma exists.
