Poor Enzo. Seller has absolutely no clue on what they are doing. Hopefully he goes to home. I'd take him but no big snakes for me, I'd get in trouble.

Yeah, poor Enzo. Who knows how many clueless keepers he'll bounce around between (assuming he really is even a "he"...).
I made the mistake of searching my local Craigslist for snakes... there are a handful of young ball pythons up there, young enough that the people selling them can't possibly have had them for very long (one ad even says they've had the snake for two weeks ?!?!?!). A couple of them look fairly skinny and dehydrated even in the bad cell phone photos. There are also a couple of adults and handful of boas. I have no intention of filling my house with rescue cases, but geez some of those poor animals really make me tempted. Fortunately for me (but unfortunately for the animals) they're all from places an hour or two drive from me, and I don't drive.

:(
