    Angry A Sad Day

    There's a little baby ball python for sale that has several stuck sheds.

    I texted the seller and told her the snake needs to see a vet because it's sick.

    She informs me that it's normal for snakes to shed their skin, and that hers is perfectly healthy.

    I reply and tell her that healthy snakes shed in one piece, and ask her if she will at least CALL an exotic vet and ask about it.

    She refuses and says that if I know anything about ball pythons I will know that they have a hard time shedding, and not to text her if I'm not interested in the snake.

    I ask if she will consider selling me the snake individually (she wants $250 for snake and supplies), and she says no.

    I hate seeing an animal suffering like that, and not being able to do a thing about it. It burns me that people will pridefully hold onto a sick animal because they think they know better.

    This is the ball in question:

    This is exactly what happened to my little Rita, and thanks to the previous owners negligence she is now blind in one eye.

    I would send those pictures and any communication to your local animal cruelty office.

    Send her pictures of full sheds from ball pythons. This girl definitely needs a reality check. This is animal cruelty

    I hesitate to hand out her info, because she already had a negative reaction to my fairly neutral texts. I worry that if more people text her she will become even more stubborn about it.

    Then you need to take action and report her.
