I've notice that there has been a large number of burms, rock pythons, and other large snakes being re-homed on CL in my area too. Some seem all right and some look entirely questionable. I have been stupid on abbreviations too but I really hope thats all the confusion was. I really think that people need to be responsible and educate them selves before buying any pet- especially a large reptiles that requires more than the average herp. Lets hope these animals make it into good homes because I can't take them!
