I completely agree. A smaller snake would have been a much better choice though. There is a much greater chance he would learn something before it is too late if he got a smaller snake. The idea of "I will do better with this one" is a bit sick in my opinion. He passed on the animal when a problem occured and for some reason he believes there will not be problems with this snake. He used the fact that it had the parasites before he got the snake as an excuse to his actions. I am not sure if Jake understands the person getting the snake is now also dealing with parasites before they aquired the snake. It was a huge mistake to buy this Burmese python. I wonder if he had to have a parent order the snake or if someone actually sold him this animal. I would really like to know the terms of this sale because it is very likely I would not be willing to do business with them. I remember prehistoric pets was mentioned. Please tell me Jake that a parent made this order because they have a very nice yellow anaconda I would like to buy and I will not throw hundreds of dollars their way if they can get it from 15 year old kids I can rescue them from. (Todd, I agree with your post but I do not think the "your little friends" comment was necessary. We know who we are talking to and it will be taken as talking down to him and he will not listen to anything else. The other parts of the harshness is your post were completely necessary). I almost feel bad giving a 15 year old such a hard time but if he plays sports I know he gets worse from coaches.
