I have to say the same. It is not like people are borned with snake husbandry keeping wired into their brains. There are people out there that keep snakes and cant use a computer for the life of them, and will probably never find a website like BP.net to help them out and for them to learn.

I think that setup is pretty good considering in how bad out of shape some snakes are rescued.

However it is still awesome that you are trying to help them :gj:

if u get them feel free to mail one my way

atleast they are being fed and arent killing eachother

That really looks to me like someone is trying to flip them. Like, bought them somewhere cheap (or got them free) and is just trying to sell them now to make a profit. I have seen people do this before.

If you really want to "rescue" these animals, you won't pay for them.

to me not everyone knows exactly what the perfect or ideal set up is for a ball python. yes they may be three to a cage in that particular persons home, but in all honesty they dont seem like they are in desperate need of care. in fact they all look pretty healthy to me. they have two hides, water and im going to assume the person has a heat source of some sort. yes maybe the 20 gallon cage is small for 3 ball pyhton with an estimated length of 2ft each, but to me i think it is just frowned upon to house them together cause that has become the norm... i do believe that ball pyhtons can live a healthy and happy life co-mingling with other ball pyhtons. just because it isnt the way you would prefer to have your ball pythons living, does not mean it is the wrong way.

this is just my honest opinion. and i am in no way trying to say you are wrong or right in your assumptions. if the person is trying to get rid of the snakes and you want to give them a home, more power to you.!

^^^well said

I've seen worse, at least they look well fed.

I have to say, in that picture it doesn't look to me like those snakes actually live in that tank.

I don't know exactly how to describe it, but the whole thing looks kind of...fake, to me.

I think whoever this person is, almost certainly does not keep these snakes this way all the time, and only put them together for this photo, probably to take advantage of some soft-hearted soul who is going to hand over money to "rescue" them.

I would be very leery of this one. I can't put a finger on why, but this one I get a bad vibe from. Let us know what you decide.
