I never got involved with any particular association for rescuing; but last week I rescued 3 BPs from a guy who was ignoring them. He neglected the snakes to the point that one male had horrible retained shed, and the female's eye is indented. I guess that's what happens when you put 3 BPs in a 55g tank, add pine shavings, no hide, a near-empty waterbowl and no belly heat!
I can tell you, it is an AWESOME feeling to know that you saved the lives of a few reptiles. The simplest thing (namely, soaking) turned the one male from an ugly, rtained-shed-laden thing, to a nice pretty normal guy. If he had kept them for much longer, I am sure they'd be dead.
Go for it!
