Here's what I don't understand...

You "rescued" a Burm from a humane society. Is this similar to the species specific dog groups who make the mad dash to the humane society as soon as they hear one of "their breed" is up for adoption? And then they claim to have "rescued" this poor animal.

You purchased a common boa for $70. Not a whole lot of rescuing going on there.

I'm starting to despise the word rescue. It implies a lot of things - but seldom is it true.

If you want to see what happens when your little "rescue" turns into a lifestyle - go here: http://www.coloradoreptilerescue.org

The director of CoRR has quit her day job - and now runs the shelter full time. Yes, the shelter. It is no longer a "rescue", it is no longer "home". It is a shelter for reptiles. Most people equate it with "The Humane Society for Reptiles". It is an incredible operation that takes much more dedication than most people will ever have...........
