Too be very fair everyone the young woman simply got a snake she wasn't ready for, had not researched enough and thank goodness was able to in the end see the snake's needs before her own. For that I totally respect the previous owner.

Yes there is no real excuse for not knowing in this age of computers and care sheets at your very fingertips as well as the wisdom of forums and breeders.

We've encouraged this snake's previous owner to really think a long time about what snake would better fit her lifestyle and her level of knowledge and experience. She's agreed that it's a far bigger responsibility than she was aware of.

I think all in all, considering the snake is not permanently damaged and will now get a chance at a wonderful home with Becky, it all worked out as it was supposed to.

I'm more mad at the pet store continuing to promote these rotten heat rocks! I'm tempted to take this snake in and show them his belly! He did NOT need to have to be hurt that way just to stay warm! There's absolutely no excuse for those things to be sold to unknowing new owners.
