It's sad to hear stories like this, but it's a fact that a lot of people just don't know what they're doing. Before I invested in a ball, I spent two weeks reading all the care tips and making a list of all that I needed to make sure it would be healthy. Figured about $200 for the snake and the setup, but ended up paying over $600 for all the best equipment. Worth every cent, thoughWhen I got her at my local pet shop, she was in terrible condition: stuck shed, low weight...it was kind of a rescue mission. They take poor care of all of their snakes: all of their corns and king snakes were all malnourished and dehydrated. Always makes me wish that I could adopt all of them, but it's just not in my budget. Visited there a few days ago to buy a live mouse, and they had two new balls, both in that same terrible condition
Anyways, I am glad that you rescued another ball from one of the many terrible care takers
Glad to see that it now has a new, caring owner.
