I know I've mentioned before That I'm a zoo keeper and that we recieve almost daily calls from people trying to donate animals to us. Starting in January i have been keeping a list of all the animals offered so far. In just two months we have recieved calls about.

9 Burmese pythons

11 Ball pythons

2 Reticulated pythons

2 African Rock pythons

1 Kenyan Sand boa

4 Red Tailed boas

6 African Spured tortoises

1 Greek Tortiose

8 Green Iguanas

3 Nile monitors

5 Savanah Monitors

1 Peach Throat Monitor

5 Red Eared sliders



And this list doesn't include what animal control brings us withour warning



So please be responsible when you buy and for pet store employes/owners be a little picky on who you sell to on occasion.

This list is just from one small zoo every zoo in the country has a list similar to this and we CAN NOT take every animal that comes our way of this list we have not taken any of the animals offered
