What wrong with this pic?

Can you name what is wrong with this picture?

Ya i am sure yalls jaw dropped just like mine did. I am trying my hardest to get these 2 poor snakes. She said she has had them in the same cage for 2yrs. I highly doubt that. Wouldn't you think they would eat each other or starve?
She has no hides for them, and no under tank heat pad just a heat lamp. The problem is, is that she just wont sell the snakes she said the set up has to go with them for $80. ;'[ I am not going to buy this ridiculous set up!

I can name a number of things wrong.

Be polite and don't give up, try your hardest to get these guys. Plus, they look no where to be 2 years old.. My female who isn't even two years old (turns 2 next month) is 4 feet and over 1100g so obviously they aren't 2 years.

Don't bet that they aren't 2 years old. My hubby and I rescued a little normal male from a bad situation.

He was 8 months old and barely 160 grams. I had 4 month old babies almost twice his size. They fed him one pinky mouse every 2 weeks.

Depending on the size of the tank, you might be able to flip it and get some of your money back. People on Craigslist are always looking for tanks it seems. Just a thought.

Keep us updated if you can get them.

If I were you I'd pay the $80 and save them.

How big is that tank? If you end up buying that stuff I might be interested In the tank and carpeting if your not in need of it :)... Thats if you get the snakes lol

while yes it is poor conditions for the snakes, only thing kinda bothering me is the 2 of them being in the same tank, i think your over reacting a little.

why would you assume they would eat each other or starve and why do you assume all ball pythons need hides, most of mine don't have any.

and all It would take to make that enclosure work would be something covering the screen and something to regulate the heat lamp.

It is rare to see caniblism with BP's especially since their size is about the same. But if they are 2 they are really underfed. I would bite the bullet and buy the tank as well. I mean...cmon....you can always use a tank for something else....:rolleyes:

I would go ahead and buy it for 80 thats not too bad of a price. As others have said you can sell the set-up or keep it and use it for keep mice/rats if they refuse to eat. They look under fed if you ask me they have that triangular shape that comes with being fed too small prey or fed not as often as needed. Rescue those little guys:gj:

omg my heart dropped into my stomach


thanks so much there are people like u to save these poor animals

i would buy it just to save the snakes. then turn around and sell the set up for what you can.

I'd drop the 80. The tank is worth atleast that and they look to be 2 pretty nice lookin' normals. Could always separate them and then you pretty much pay it off with a free tank for 1 and 2 nice lookin' normals out of it! Looks like the one curled up in the back has a sweet reduced pattern.

Dont get me wrong i did judge anything. I just remember someone on here posting about a normal ate another normal. Or i have just herd some bad stories about snakes housed together. And i also her that they will not eat because they are in a stressed out situation.

I guess it never crossed my mind to buy the tank and turn around and sell it. Good idea! I just emailed the lady and i will update yall!

I paid 150$ to rescue my 9 year old female (who was recently adopted by a breeder friend who I know will take excellent care of her!). I had no idea what condition she was in (damned internet ads...) but couldn't turn her away when I saw her. Knowing I saved her from a horrible life was worth the lost money.

Realistically, you buy it for 80$. Flip the tank for 30-40$ and you've just picked up snakes at 20-25$ a piece. Worth it in my books!

Gosh, what isn't wrong with it.

Here we go
1. reptile carpet. total junk, holds germs
2. heat lamp, depending on where you live, in most parts of the country these are inappropriate, will suck out the humidity and leave you with a dried up, unhappy and unhealthy ball python
2. Aquarium. I continue to maintain they are not suitable for ball pythons in about 90% of situations. don't hold heat, don't hold humidity
3. No hides
4. was there a water bowl?
5. Two snakes together. While you will hear people tell you this is ok. I maintain it is nothing but bad. Ball pythons do not hang out together in the wild. They are solitary creatures and having two in one cage does nothing for them but put them in danger.

I can't go back and look at the pic again so , thats it for now.

is there anything right about that pic? ooo, they have water !!!
they're hatchlings, in a set-up thats been thrown together quickly, purely to sell for a profit
walk !!! dont be conned

there is no way that they are two yrs old they look like they may be 200 grams and that looks like a 20gal tank. if you can give them a good home pm me i will help you with the funds

Well i have emailed her several times today and she hasnt replied. I just hope that she isnt ingoring me. ;'[
