I have a neighbor who lives down our street who had a friend who needed him to keep his BP for him for awhile (IDK the reason) and he agreed. My boyfriend is buddies with this neighbor and we have gone over there to grill out a few times in the past. The last time that we went over there was probably about 4 months ago. They had the BP in a tank, no hide, no water, no heat. So I explained that they should give him a hide and I cut one out of a shoebox for him. I haven't seen the snake again. Since then, the neighbor and his wife have separated. The neighbor came over today, after going to see his kids, to hang out with my boyfriend. He asked me if I wanted his friend's BP (IDK what happened or why the friend never came and got it). I don't really want him so I said "noooooo not right now". I left the room and that was that. Shortly after, I went back to ask something and the neighbor says, "Look, Jess, I'm going to bring this snake over to you today, I don't want it. And if you aren't going to take it, I'm going to take it out to Malabar (further into the middle of nowhere than I already live) and let it go or make a belt out of it." This of course ticks me off so my response is that he can bring it over to me. After I agree, he tells me thank god that I did because it needs to be fed because his wife hasn't fed it in three months!

Good thing I have small rats in the freezer.
