By "rescuing" (buying) these snakes, in those conditions, you are telling that person that it's ok to keep them in those conditions, it means little to you, and you're putting money in their pocket to encourage them to do it again. Afterall, you didn't set a higher standard for that seller.
"Hey, people will buy from me, no matter what conditions I keep them in, I have no incentive to improve - I'll just churn out more, so another person can "rescue" them from me (for $600)."
