I see someone on Craigslist in my area who has an Eastern. The man didn't even know it was an Eastern. Says it's his sons and he has NO info.about the snake. Sounds like if he doesn't "sell" the snake, it's gone. (I'm afraid the guy's gonna just release it) He said it's a "nice size length" which makes me believe it's an adult. And he said it eats frogs, because that's what he's been told by other folks on Craigslist who have asked him about the snake. He knows nothing except he wants it gone. I've asked him several ?'s, like age, whether his son caught it or bought it to try to determine if it's captive born or wild. I'm just afraid the snake is doomed unless it gets rescued. The guy only wants $15 for it but I only have dealt with Western's and I know I don't have frogs or toads that I have access to so if I get it to save it from certain doom, I may not be able to feed it. IF it's and adult, and IF it's only eating frogs/toads, can it still possibly be converted over? Would I be doing it no good if I rescue it from this guy? Thanks in advance everyone
