So my friend saw a post with someone who had to "get rid" of her snake, and told me about it. I quickly emailed the person and though a few emails I got the feeling that this girl really wanted the best home possible for this snake. So I was prepared to let her in and show her my snakes, their tanks, etc. Just to show her that Rudy would be getting a great home.
Man was I wrong!
She knocks on my door, I go to let her in. She just says "the snake is in the car". Her mother then brings out a cardboard box with a 5 gallon tank in it, with a rock stuffed in the side with a pair of gloves. The girl then says "this is Rudy... he bites!". I look at the snake and look at her and say "he is 3 years old?". She yes "yeah about 2 and a half". I'm in shock because this snake is about the size of Jinx when he was about 6 months old. The mother then kind of pushes the tank box off on to me and the girl then says "well see ya, thank you again" and I'm left standing there with a really confused look on my face like "WTF? Don't you even care?!"
Apparently not!
I so could cry right now too!
Because... I get inside and take the tank out of the box. Here is a small/skinny pretty corn snake who has NO bedding, NO water, NOTHING to gives off any heat, and only one hide. WTF I'm surprised this snake has made it this far if he really is two and a half years old!
POOR THING!
I'm glad I could take him!
Here are a few pictures:
