Yes, I know, I cant STAND to see animals of ANY kind being starved or mistreated..period. If someone has captive animals, then by god it is up to them to provide proper care for the animal(s), or simply DO NOT OWN IT!!!! that's how I feel. But this happens on a daily basis.



I know how you feel about saving an animal from less than perfect conditions. I have even bought a few substandard snakes in my day, but then again, I have four decades of experience, and am more capable of nurturing them back than most. It's extremely risky to do however, as when an extremely small hatchling has something go wrong, there isn't enough body mass to sustain it for very long at all unless you know exactly what the problem is, and can rectify it quickly enough.



anyway, it's too bad he perished, and believe me, I know how you feel. I've lost many a snake in my day too.





best regards, ~Doug
