someone on craigslist list is saleing there snakes

If your probobly going to trade it for an xbox or somthing, maybey your not mature enough for the responsibility of a snake?
Im against the while pokemon cards setup some people get with snakes. I guess i understand breeders, and all that, but honestly, if you take a living creature in, its life is your responsibility. If your not up for that, why dont you just find an easier hobby (like video games)
Heck if your tryn to trade stuff, trade baseball cards, not living beings

Agree. I was selling a beautiful pastel male once. And one guy wanted to start breeding so he asked to trade for material items. Some of the stuff was super random.

- xbox games
- switch blade
- poker game set
- packing peanuts
- brass knuckles
- guitar pick
- dog food

Yup. Can't say I was disappointed to turn him down....

I think if we ever EVER (touch wood it'll NEVER happen) needed to get rid of Pretzel and/or Pringle for whatever serious reason, Grant and I would much rather they went to someone we knew and trusted to look after them. We're lucky enough to have close friends with snakes who share a passion for reptiles, and the store we always go to I'm sure would be happy to either take and re-home them to more than suitable owners, or (knowing how much we love our littluns) take them home themselves and look after them well :)

Personally I don't think I could ever sell either of them for material objects...They're worth so much more to us than that :) :love:

For as long as there has been humans, we have been trading goods/animals. It's not going to change any time soon. If someone can no longer care for a animal anymore I see no problem with them using Craigslist as a tool to find a suitable home. The problem is nine times out of ten when you see someone looking to trade a ball python for let's say Xbox or computer, it some spoiled kid who "needed" a ball python while at the store. Now 6 months down the road the new has worn off and the kid is no longer interested. I believe it's the parents job to put their foot down and teach the kid about responsibility and commitment.

People's circumstances change. There are irresponsible people in the world; many are children, many are not. One question you may want to ask is if the kid who posted their snake for an Xbox is irresponsible or if the parent who allowed them to get the snake is irresponsible? Maybe they should have bought their kid an Xbox.

I'm glad there are places like craigslist for people that fall into any of those categories to go and find new owners for their pets. Can you imagine those animals' alternatives? I'm glad that people have a quick and easy means of connecting to someone who will enthusiastically pick up the slack on their poor circumstance or irresponsibility. I'm willing to bet 90% of craigslist animals get re-homed to better circumstances.

People always post 'oh my god this heartless demon look at these awful conditions this animal is living in,' but for every one of those posts you see on craigslist there are 5 other animals in the same or worse conditions with owners who don't care enough/ won't make the effort to get rid of them. By comparison, the people who get rid of their old pets on craigslist are actually pretty responsible.

I got rid of my 6 year old Bearded Dragon named Snoop on craigslist. It was very traumatic for me and believe me it was NOT my fault that I had to get rid of him. It's scary to think of what his fate may have been if I couldn't find someone on craigslist. I turned 5 people down before the 6th proved a worthy owner, by the way.

I will say craigslist, ive changed my mind. Im buying a cl snake, the guy seems to have some legit money issues,and is parting out all sorts of snake stuff, and if he couldnt do that hed lose the place, and i guess just be forced to give them out to whoever shows up, very scary though, at least people can be screened to weed out the dummys

Let's all collaborate to get that Boa Python. We'll be famous for the discovery of the first Boa Python in existence. The scientific community will be in a buzz.;)

Lmao.....that's great. For 200 bucks that's a steal!

Im just sayin, if some little kid wants a snake, their parents should probobly consider if its going to be a 4 month fad, and if so, maybe the kid needs less cable tv, and more being outside....there are snakes outside lol
