Feeding off normal ball pythons...

[bcr229]

I'd worry about that no matter what. I mean even if a big name in the industry wants my snake, how do you know they'll treat it well? Even if I gave a snake away to a friend or someone else as a purely pet gift, who knows what they'll do with it in 1, 2, 5 years. They might give it away to someone who doesn't care, they might stop caring themselves, or maybe they'll get tired of it and just release it when it can't survive in that location.

I've told people who have taken the pet-quality critters that if they find they can't take care of it due to illness or money issues due to job loss, can't have it in a new apartment, etc. to contact me and I will take it back. I won't pay for it, but I will ensure it goes to another home.

These animals can live for decades and I figure that I brought them into the world so it's up to me to ensure they get the best possible homes throughout their lives.
