Ball Giveaway

[N4S]

Has this site ever had any kind of contest or drawing for a free ball giveaway?

That would be a really cool addition.

Not for me cause I have no room for another whatsoever but I just wanted to throw the idea out there.

I've never seen it done. What would the give away be for?

If you are talking about ball pythons as the give a way I feel that would be totally wrong. I don't think winning a contest makes a good care giver of an animal. Not everyone can care for animals properly. Someone may take the animal because they won but not really have the means to care for it , or even really wanting it.

Eh; i think that it'd be a bad idea too. I always get nervous when I see those "Horse Raffles" that they have, where they raffle off a horse.. any schmuck could win it. Maybe if the entries were screened? But then you could say that it is skewed against people who might be good caretakers and not well-known.. maybe it'd be a bad idea overall.

Part of the entry qualification could be a brief husbandry questionaire. It makes more sense than some of the other ideas I've seen (finding a specific image or phrase on the site, for example).
Then too, I think the folks who are giving away free snakes expect the winner to pay the shipping costs, so that will deter most of the people who only have a casual interest.

May be not a give away but maybe as the prize for the BPOTM winner someone quitely donate a Het or Pasel male and then

BAM! the winner get this CHA CHING

I personally would like if this happened... because if I won, I would be able to provide it with proper care. It's a different story when you throw a lot of people into the mix.

I do believe that it's illegal by law to give away a live animal as a contest prize in some states. Don't quote me on it though...I don't have any of the links to the site's where I got the information off of and I cannot verify the authenticity of said information.

I'm not sure which states either. But I have heard it's illegal in some. I myself would never trust just anyone to hand a living animal to as a prize. The best route is to give away prizes such as herp supplies or T-SHIRTS (like Adam has). Yes, I love my t-shirt Adam.
