Does size matter?

[Mike Cavanaugh]

I also do not think that selling a snake and selling a dog is the same thing. Dogs become attached to their owner. Snakes don't care who their owner is as long as their enclosures are clean, and they are fed and watered.

I both agree and disagree with this to a certain extent. while a snake does not get emotionally attached, it does get attached to every last detail of the owners climate and husbandry practices.

You have to factor in the fact that it is EXTREMELY stressful on the snake to move and change owners. This is the same reason why adult females often times will not breed the first year you have them. If I am reading other posts correctly the snake in question is 9 years old. How many different owners has it had during that time? Look, there is obviously nothing wrong with selling a snake.

All I am saying is if you agree to take on the responsibilities of owning a snake, and caring for it... and you put it through the stress of a move, and then turn around and try to dump it off on someone else a month later because it no longer fits your new get rich quick breeding plans... that is not good.
