Thank goodness you happened to go by that shelter in time. I feel so much better. I didn't even want to finish reading your post. I can't stand to hear horror stories or animal abuse and neglect. It sounds like this particular shelter just didn't know how to care for them, but they should have some type of resources or a reptile specialist or something. Maybe they will know who to contact in the future, since you made the efforts for them this time. You were a blessing for these snakes.
