Horrible people! I have to vent

Ugh. Poor thing. At least he was lucky enough to wind up with you.

We stopped in Petsmart tonight and I found a half dead milk snake baby......told one of the associates and she just took the little cage in the back....needless to say we left and didnt buy a thing....and won't anytime in the future either.

Mind you i have been home from knee surgery maybe 3hrs and I, well tried to jump up and yell get him to me, luckily she had him in the car already. Horrible shed really peicey BUT overall healthy looking, her son went to college and couldn't bring it, just amazes me how people are. So I got it back here and gave it a great soak with some she ease and got rest of shed off. [emoji1]

Wow, that's awful. My husband recently picked up a bearded dragon with a really gnarly case of gout. Poor thing couldn't walk, she had to drag herself to her food. Her owners didn't know what to do with her and didn't feel like taking her to the vet, so they just left her in a small plastic transport case (this thing couldn't have been more than a foot long) in the corner of their living room, waiting for her to die. Who knows how long they had her in those conditions before they finally posted her on Craigslist because she was taking up space. She didn't have heat lights, UVB, anything. Some people just suck. If you can't keep your animal or take care of it, at the very least, surrender it to a rescue! Leaving it in a cold box (or in your case, outside!) to die is disgusting.

Anyways, thanks for taking in that ball! You're awesome. :)

Thanks everyone

I actually feel bad for the lady. I mean her son is old enough to take responsibility and rehome the snake before he went off to college.

I mean you have to look at it from the moms point of view. She probably knows absolutely nothing about the snake and has even less of an interest. Was it justified? No. But you can't expect too much from people.
