Watching him die :(

I wouldnt convince anything, Take the damn snake and be done with it, Or report them for animal abuse..

They have no word in this fight what so ever as they neglected to take care of the animal.

Yup. I don't normally condone theft, but when it comes to a living being, its game on and we support you if you decide he must be taken from her! Unfortunately reporting animal abuse/neglect very rarely has any effect. People just don't care anymore unless there is a profit in it for them.
