someone on craigslist list is saleing there snakes

someone on craigslist is saleing all there reptiles...the have a green tree python...retic python...ball python....red tail boa....there so pretty...i hope they dont sale to someone wanting a pretty pet to just show in a cage....i feel bad when i see animals on craigslist...u just never know who will get them and if they will take care of them...thtas for cats and dogs also...but these post in particular surprise me cause around here you never see more than one snake in a day on craigslist for sale and if you do its usualy just ball pythons only....

It's indeed saddening to see so many animals sold and bought by unknowledgeable people, as if they were just used objects. It's also sad when someone feels the need to get rid of their pets like that, be it financial or circumstantial. I know sometimes the animals have to go, but a lot of the times, it's preventable.

Rehoming animals is difficult, stressful, and risky. Like you said you never know where they're going or coming from. I really hate seeing kittens and puppies on there. It's very saddening knowing that those cats will probably end up in the streets having more kittens, and the dogs might end up being fought or bred by BYBs/mills.

This is why I believe pets are a commitment, not a privilege/item. I watch craigslist and I see new ads weekly for baby and juvi ball pythons, no doubt bought from a pet store just a few months earlier and now unwanted and unhealthy. However, I also see the people who have had their snakes for years, and are reluctantly trying to find good homes for their beloved pets for whatever reason.

ok maybe im new at this keeping a snake deal but when u post pictures of your ball python eating a rat and theres pooo every were in the cage with it....ewww desgusting alteast i know to clean my snakes cage out...and im not talking one place in both pictures i see like 3 different places of poo

That is just nasty. I always wonder why anyone would take the time to take a picture if the subject or background really looks that hideous. Not good advertisement, that's for sure! :rolleyes:

There's new BPs going up on Craigslist everyday, my favorite is "ball python with whole set up $200". Or "trading ball python looking for Xbox".

my favorite cl post is "ball boa snake" or redtail "python" ... ive actually seen posts like this its so sad

Have you seen anyone "saleing" any "terriors" on Craigslist?
