I was working in a customer's yard and found a red rat/eastern corn snake(Pantherophis guttatus). If I left it there, the customer would have killed it so I decided to take it home with me. It was very deep in shed so I wanted to keep it until it finished shedding so that it could see when relocated.
After it finished shedding I wanted to try feeding a F/T mouse..I didn't at all expect it to eat, but it did! So now I'm wanting to keep it as a pet...
My question is, what does everyone think about keeping a wild caught snake? I know most people don't like wild caught that are shipped and sold, but what about just finding one and keeping it? I'm curious to know what people think. I feel bad because it will have a much smaller home than it did before... but it will be safe and always have food and water...
I will add pictures as I have time today while at work.
