So i was in the pet store last night buying a rat pup for my very picky Het for albino ball python baby when i was approached by a "snake lover" who wanted to know what i was feeding and how old nad the basic run down of my snake list... And since I LOVE to talk shop i started talking with this guy. He told me he had kingsnakes and that he loved them so much, as we kept talking he also meantioned this boa that he had, he said she was about a 6 foot red tail... I love boas so i asked oh cool where'd you get it and how old is "she" he told me he recieved it from a friend who had paid 350.00 for it but that neither of them knew if it was a boy or a girl and that he didnt want it anymore.. I kind of ask oh does she bite? he told me know he just didnt want it and i said oh well atleast you can find "her" a good home right.. and he said well actually he was here in the pet store to find out if there was a way to BEAT the snake to death. with the comment at the end, it was the most humaine thing i could think of doing to kill it.. WHAT!!! Now im like no no no dont do it...I gave him my number and told him to call me and i will take the snake from him.. I even offered him 50 bucks right there on the spot for him to let me follow him home and pick up the snake... I just hope he calls..
Now to problem two... I have already maxed out my collection and while i will not have to bring this snake into my own house, i have arranged for it to stay in my parents house, I know that i can't keep it... and once i get her and take her to the vet she will be free to a loving home... i will be posting pictures of her, and finding out if its a male or a female and all that stuff im just wondering if anyone out there has room in the house and heart for one more snakey.... Please let me know...
Sincerely,
Rose
