I believe frostysBP is referring to this Craigslist Post - "BEWARE: Snake man wants small pets (N. metro)".

I'd really like to see the original ad that you've posted. From the sound of it, it seems a bit distasteful. It is of no benefit to the hobby to have somebody publicly asking for small cats and dogs as feeders.

Even if you own large constrictors, it isn't too difficult to find feeder rodents.

Mine is posted in the Brainerd Minnesota pets. Looking for large prey items to feed to my snakes. I have way to much time and $$ into my snake to feed them cats and dogs. Why would I spend thousands of $ in snakes to feed vaccinated cats and dogs to. Heck I have a 15 lb dog and a cat. The same person emailed me to chop me arm off and feed it to the snake.lol

Not enough qualifying information in the BEWARE post to find the original, we'll have to wait for frostysBP to post that link, if it's still up.

Thanks I couldn't get it to post up for me. I can't get mine up to. The pic in the add is my sd from NERD

I didn't ask for dogs or cats that the thing. I asked for rabbits quail and guinea pigs and clearly stated what they were used for.

There are two sides to every story, which is why I wanted to see your original post.

While I do believe the lady exaggerated quite a bit in her posting, I do have a couple of issues regarding yours.

Issue number one, is it's not that difficult to find a rodent supplier without posting an ad on Craigslist. Sadly, people are naturally going to have problems with that post, even though your intentions are clear. (IMO adding the photo was also unnecessary)

Issue number two, is that it doesn't appear that you own any snakes that are able to consume the large prey items you are requesting.

You were completely within your right to post an ad, but in my opinion you could accomplish the same goal without doing so.
