Stacking Exo-Terras

Well....I picked him up. Thank god I did. He was not in the size enclosure the guy said he was. He has one hide that he doesn’t even fit under. A heat mat that was barely attached and not on a thermostat and no heat lamp. He was so cold when I picked him up. [emoji30]He is VERY sweet though.

Poor snake...I hope there's nothing wrong with him that your quick intervention & "TLC" can't fix. :gj:

Many years ago I "rescue-bought" a 5' female w/c/imported BP that a family had for about a year after buying from the pet shop that imported her. I wasn't
in the market for a BP but they weren't asking a lot ($40) & it sure sounded like she needed help. I was right...their son had lost interest, & the only heat (in
a well-air conditioned desert home!) was a hot rock that had broken & was unplugged for some time...AND the poor snake was covered with TICKS! They said
"oh, we thought those are just her scales...?" :( And they asked me if I wanted a dog too....they had 2 & since both adults worked full time (as realtors) their
carpet was covered with doggy poo/pee stains...but while I couldn't take a dog, my mom did! She went with me out of curiosity, LOL...I come from a family of
animal lovers & we did what we could, not one regret & TLC to spare. ;) So good luck with your new "baby".

Grrrr! How can people be so ignorant? I asked this kid why he was selling him and he said, “because I bought him when I was drunk.”!!! [emoji36] He was drunk when I got there at 4pm too.

:O OMG! What a loser...that is just SO sad...but for him to have kept the snake would have been even worse, so at least he knew when to quit?

By the way, :welcome: and lurk no more, you belong with us.

Haha! Thank you!! We’re going to get them both into an AP T10 as soon as we can, so I’m sure I’ll have tons more questions at that time. :)

Hey now, not all people with alcohol issues are losers. I am a raging alcoholic /addict coming up on 6 years sober.
Unfortunately, alcoholism is a very real disease. We wouldn't be calling him a loser for being diabetic or if he couldn't care for his pets because he had cancer, now would we?
