    If you saved this snake, are you going to "save" the next one? And the next one?

    If seeing the snakes in bad condition in the big chain stores disturbs you, the best thing we can do as snake enthusiasts is to STOP buying them from these places.

    With all that said, I hope you two have healthy pets that live long lives. Just don't do it again!! lol

    Point to my previous reply being, saving every snake is unrealistic. But letting one you grew attached to go to someone else isn't going to stop it. Only legal action can stop it, and there's only so much we can do. I stopped buying hermit crabs when I was younger after learning they're taken from the wild, plus the fact their needs are almost never met in captivity. I helped educate people about it online and off. Did it stop them from being sold? Nope..
