Lol, well I don't want to harass the lady into giving in to me. In fact I'm pretty well convinced she'll see it dead before I'll hear from her about it. But hey if that's what you honestly believe needs to be said then I guess it is your right to send an email to her.
Craig's List is a funny place. I've seen mutts... again that's MUTTS (with a "M") advertised on Craig's List for hundreds of dollars. It used to be when you had an animal that needed a home you were willing to just give it away no matter how much (or little) it was worth. Hell, where I come from you PAY people to take in a rescue you don't expect to get paid for it. But oh well what can you do. That's how Craig's List seems to function.
I haven't sent anything yet, and I sent you a PM of my msg first:) I am polite :)

Re: Is this a carpet?
One last thing regarding this - I've gotten a few pms from well intentioned folks wanting to contact her about not being willing to take $50.00 for it and what a horrible "parent" she is. I wanted to clear up that this isn't a case of her doing badly with her own snake, a tenant of their abandoned it. I put that in the 2nd or 3rd post I made in this thread, but thought it should be further cleared up.
Please don't harass her either via phone or email unless you are honestly interested in the snake. It won't change her mind and is likely just to annoy her (I know it would me). But I thank everyone for the support and the offers of support in this situation. She has every right to ask whatever she wants to ask for the snake.

In all fairness she's trying to recover part of the damages that her tenant left her with by selling the snake. I don't know what the snake has to do with the damages, but I'll help her recover $50.00 of it. Which isn't really anything at all, but it's better than nothing.

No kidding huh. Most of the time they're emancipated normal ball pythons that people are trying to sell for as much as a spider would go for.

Re: Is this a carpet?
your a good man on that half that you know the situtation of the snake. and what happened. yea around here you have to pay the animal shelters to take animals. so i think if someone really wanted and animal to go to a good home and someone was willing to take it besides a rescue then a fee of free would be nice. theres a place here not to get off topic but only shelters iggy's and if you cant handle your iggy anymore you have to pay them 150 dollars for them to take it cuz they have no room and they need all the money they can get to expand and its only 50 dollars to adopt the iggys. i was doing a foster thing for them not the long ago. before it got into bps. i miss my iggys rip sam rex and godzilla. sorry for the high jack.

Re: Is this a carpet?
thats one heck of a contract she had with her tenant if she can't legally charge him/her for damages... where can I find one?
I understand the $50 dollars, but trying to sell at market price when they got it free of charge is rediculous.

I don't know anything about the legal situation or the tenant situation. I'll just hazard to guess that the tenant simply disappeared without a trace rather than face the consequences of the damage she had done to the place.

Sadly most people will either kill the animal or just let it loose before they'll pay for a shelter to take them in. My sister runs a humane society and they have a $25 intake fee but no one ever pays it. They just leave the animals chained up to the fence and sometimes they kill them and leave them on the front steps with a note complaining about the fee
