I agree, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of "friendly" intimidation by unusually large boyfriends. -lol- Also, don't forget that there are good networking tools online such as myspace (yes, it can be useful from time to time), facebook - any of those type of sites. There's also craigslist. Post some stuff up, get some people interested, and see what you can do.

Also, call the ASPCA tomorrow and ask who they refer reptile-related problems to. They will usually have a number. If they tell you to call the police, then call the police and see who they suggest you speak to. You can also try calling places that specialize in pest removal. From time to time they will have to deal with reptiles, and I bet they have a number for a reptile rescue place. Just start calling people. Someone will be able to point you in the right direction. I know that the humane society of the united states has an e-mail address on their website. You may also try e-mailing them.

I will help in whatever way I can. I hate to hear stories like this. I am not in the area, but if there's anything I can do from afar I will. If you are able to get the snake and need a little bit of money for its food or something, let me know. There's never enough money to go around, but I definitely don't mind sharing what little I have. Please keep me updated. PM me if you like.

Thank you so much. I will see what I can do tomorrow. I only have internet access at work and I'm about to close for the night, so tomorrow morning when I come back I'll work on it. I really appreciate your offer. I'm sure there is something that can be done. This burm is living in a tiny octogon tank, probably 10 gallons, since being serperated from the ball yesterday. God knows if or when the guy will get it an even slightly larger tank and it definitely doesn't have any heat source or food. This guy has no problem hitting women, I can't imagine what he might do to a snake if it bites him 'cus it's starved.

Thank you. We'll figure something out. I'll post something about it in the big snakes forum or whatever.
