So, my neighbor (also a life science teacher) approaches me about me letting him borrow a snake to use in his classroom. I agreed and ran though all the care and other things he needed to know. And i set him free. A tub, snake, dimmer thermostat, heat pad, and thermometer. I initially gave him 3 rats to feed this snake and told him where to purchase more or IF he needed me to supply him id be more than happy to do so if he paid. So about 6 weeks went by and i decided to swing b his room to see how things were going. OH MY GOD. He first hadn't fed the snake in 3 weeks, hadn't cleaned the cage, didn't have fresh water (bedding in the water and it was moldy) no thermometer or dimmer in use. and melted tub from the heatpad! Plus to top it off he didn't feed correctly after i showed him how and somehow the snake had an RI.... I TOLD HIM HOW TO SPOT AN RI!!!! what the heck! i love this guy and hes a family friend but really? I give you a pastel ball python to keep for a year and he disrespects me like this? ( i view it as disrespect). i am beside my self. On a good note the snake was of good size so lack of feeding for 3 weeks wasn't that big or a deal, the RI is almost cleared up. I just had to get that out there for snake people to see For the suggestions. how do i politely say that i am disappointed and he will NOT be getting the snake back even if "his students will be so disappointed"

Thanks for reading
