ok, so I guess you guys are stuck with my complaining....
I just took in a rescue. Its a year and a half (so I'm told) and tiny. They feed once every two or three weeks, and have to assist feed. When I asked about their feeding methods, I discovered that the mice they feed are thawed, but cold!!! No wonder they have to assist!!! Then I checked out the enclosure. Shredded newspaper that looks like its never been changed, a 100 watt lightbulb for heat, 24/7, with no UTH. I brought my heat gun, and the temp on the floor was 72 on the warm side. Its hide is huge, and open on two ends, so no security. Water bowl had green water in it from all the algae. Honestly, I can't believe this poor animal is still alive!!! The part I hate the most, is I have to be nice to these people, because I need to ask for a small donation to properly house this snake.
If he survives, he will be one tough snake!
Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest. I really think you should have to pass a test or get a liscence or something to own a pet.
