https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...a4&oe=57534E96

i'm gonna say what i said there: "i'm really concerned about how they've been taking care of Enzo if they didn't even know he's a boa. i mean they already said they feed him once a month. probably threw him in a ten gallon fish tank with sand and a lamp. maybe a heat rock too" also $300!!!!!

Yikes.

uhm....... :confusd:

Well then fork out the $300 and go get it otherwise .. don't lose any sleep over it :sarcasm:

Well ok I guess??!?! Real odd looking BP

Silly people. That's clearly a cornsnake. I know, because my friend's neighbour had one. It ate rabbits and grew 20 feet long.

Could you walk it on a leash? Because mine walks on a leash with me all that time. It's also litter trained.

WOW just wow...SMH :colbert:

It really irritates me when people buy snakes (and other pets for that matter) then re-home them when they think they are "too big" or "living situation." DON'T buy pets you can't look after forever! It's selfish.

No it's not, it's a blindsnake. They grow to 30 feet and they're called that because they shoot venom at your eyes. My cousin's friend's college roommate's boyfriend almost got blinded by one.

But yeah... I often wish the starting prices for snakes were higher. There's something not right about being able to buy an animal for $25 no questions asked, that will need to be cared for for decades.

Y'know what's sad? My sister-in-law did this to me but was being serious. "Oh, my brothers had ball pythons that had a diameter of 7 inches and blah blah blah....". It was just one big face palm. Just because you've owned an animal does not qualify you as a good keeper/handler.
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.
