With as many snakes out there that are poorly taken care of or abused they need everyones help regardless of your religious belief, sexual prefrence or lifestyle choice. I'm known at many of the local animal shelters and rescue outfits and I've taken in my fair share of reptiles from them and even more from someone's sisters-cousins- friends "roommate who moved out and left the snake". You can even get licensed by your county (tho I'm not). I have a good herp vet that even give me reduced prices for these rescues. It can be hard, but it can also be rewarding.
