injured or birth defect?

[AK907]

In my most honest opinion i would take the snake off their hands and cull it. I cant see how it could live a good life like that. I highly doubt that snake is eating and defacating fine, but i could be wrong.

Kinda my thoughts right there.

I do wonder a couple things, though. Why were they trying to sell this snake? I'm sorry, but I have to wonder about a place that would try to sell an animal like this. Also, did they get this poor guy in on a shipment from a breeder or did they breed it themselves? If it was from a breeder I would certainly like to know who that breeder is so I can avoid them if they are shipping animals like this. If it is an injury from in the store, what vet said this little guy was good to go? I could go on here.

At least they are offering it up for free to someone who cares, but sight unseen (besides the pics), I can't imagine him having a good quality of life and probably needs put down.

It should be euthanized. I understand you can't go to a vet so you have two optioNs if you take it. Cut it's head off or freeze it. Now the freeze it thing is controversial because it's said to be inhumane; however, it's not easy to kill something you're so passionate about. Really they need to be euthanized through a euthanizing formula injected by a professional, but is not cheap. So don't hate me for saying freezing it is an option, but I don't think I could chop the head off of something I loved or had pity for. I would think some would understand

No, no, no, no!!! Freezing is NOT an acceptable method for euthanization. That is cruelty, plain and simple. If you're going to put it down, either pony up the cash for a vet to do or man up and do it humanely. End of story. These are all part of being a responsible owner.
