Yesterday I spoke with the store manager, who didn't even know which snake I was talking about at first.. Until he saw it, and was like, 'oh.' In regards to my offering to adopt it, he stated that because it had been to a 'qualified vet' who said that I quote, "this type of snake is inherently unhealthy" (referring to the piebald trait I assume? Ugh.) it could not be adopted out. However, he said that it would be taken again and that I should call back. So, I called again this morning. He said that it should have a vet appointment today or tomorrow and they were trying to get it to shed (which terrifies me). He did express that he would like it to go to someone who could take proper care of it if possible, but because of needing permission from a vet and higher authority (because of the 500$ price tag) I should call back again on Thursday.
I'm honestly not sure what to expect at this point.. But I worry more damage than help could be done in the next few days if they try to make him still sellable. Or if the vet won't clear him for adoption.
In any case though, I did file a report to their corporate branch about his gross neglect for the last two months.
