This was (very unfortunately) before I had a job. The guy encouraged me to come check out their snakes anyways. Had a lot of nice (healthy as far as I could see) Ball Python's. Also; a lot of people will put two "males" or two "females" together, after incorrectly sexing them. Which isn't something a responsible owner/breeder would do anyways, but; They usually just want their surprise clutch out asap, and have extremely low prices.

I look at the Flint, Saginaw, and Detroit Craigslist and yes there are a few local breeders. 99% of the animals listed(not just reptiles) are pet store animals that people got bored of and never knew how to properly care for in the first place. I look because I like to scavenge their supplies and feeders, but I'd think twice about any of their animals.

I really try to ignore browsing craigslist pet section. It annoys me more and more when I browse it.
