Here's the thing: If you call Animal Control or a similar group on a neglect case, and show them the pictures as evidence, they WILL go in there and TAKE the snake from this person. He/she will NOT have a say in the matter. They will be charged with serious neglect and fined/have to appear in court. Personally, I think that's the best thing you can do for this poor animal. Don't try to "convince" your friend. FORCE them. I hate to badmouth people's friends, but the poor girl doesn't deserve this horrible neglect and suffering because of an owner that's too selfish or incompetent to do the right thing.
If you're not willing to do this, then judging from what I've read in this thread about your "friend's" personality, this snake will die.
that is exactly how i feel.. this friend of yours doesnt deserve to have the pet if they are not only unable but unwilling to care for it...
