I quoted my original post. Don't get me wrong, I loved my king snake. But after she was able to escape out of my house and some how into my neighbors house, I thought it would be in her better interest to to go to someone who would actually be able to contain her. She did manage to escape on him twice two, and he is much more experienced than I, so I don't feel ashamed that I couldn't contain her. He did find her and fix all problems both times though, and she has not escaped since. I just felt that if I would have kept her and she got out side again that her life would have been endanger, and it would have been selfish of me to take that risk if I kept her.
