I agree that Terry should have come forward immediately. For his sake and more importantly the sake of the animals. Noone knows those animal better than Terry. If I knew absolutely my animals were going and there was nothing I could do about it. I would be the one catching them up and putting them in the crates. I don't need catch poles breaking my crocs teeth.
I also agree with Raven and this was my point that we don't know the hx of the dwarf.
The crappiest looking animals in my collection are animals I received from other people. I am not a rescue but since I make my living doing educational reptile shows I feel obligated to take in unwanted animals. Raven is right some never fully recover.
I loved Tom's story about the salt that "exploded" when put into a sunny larger enclosure. But it does'nt always have that happy ending.
I agree bigger cages are better. I also admit when I'm on the road I use a rack system for the small guys.
And while perception is important I don't like AR folks trying to dictate the way I keep my animals.
Reptiles are secretive they don't just sprawl out like your dog.
In my traveling display I have 4 giant species of snakes(all over 13 feet). I have 4 venemous snakes. A big A. snap a small crocodilian and a huge monitor.
I get a few people asking about cage size even though it is written that none of these animals are permenantly housed there.
I say the only one I would like to have more room is the monitor.
