Reason you see so many babies is and less adults is simply this, they are cute as babies and once they grown to 5'+ and the owner who said "its only going to get..5'....6'...7'...8' " see's what 5' is let alone 6+ they decided it time to dump the snake on someone else. Sad but true. Heck my new 5' Boa had me saying "what was I thinking" the first day i got him, now he is cool and one of the family.
