selling snakes with neuro issues
Hi all,
I need some advice (please). I bought out (rescued) a collection a few months ago and finally have most of them up to a decent weight (they were all thin - some were severely emaciated but that's a different story). Anyway, included in the bunch was a pastel enchi champagne male with a slight neuro issue (not a wobble, not a corkscrew - just a funny way of holding his head and not really noticeable unless you are looking), a champagne female with mild deficit (definite corkscrew but not severe) and a little spinner with a BAD corkscrew. The good news is that they can all eat/drink on their own. It is a point of pride to me that I don't breed snakes known to have neuro issues (and I avoid spiders and champagnes for precisely that reason)...but since I have them, I have to figure out what to do with them. I'll rehome the spinner as a pet once she is at a good weight (she was one of the worst off) but for the pastel enchi champagne male, is it ethical to sell him? He's a really pretty and sweet snake and tbh I could use the cash (they are several hundred dollars on morphmarket). I'll give full disclosure but I'm still conflicted. Would my ethical burden be lifted if I sell him with the intent of putting the $$ towards future rescues? Thanks for the input!
