Hello all, Vlad's mom again.


Been doing really well. Vlad got out of the rest of his shed and has been eating. He's a feisty thing.

I was tagged in a post on facebook- someone I went to school with is trying to get rid of their BP. When i clicked the photos I felt sick. This is a male BP around 2 ft long, seems to be pretty girthy, being kept in a 40 gallon tank with no blackout on any sides. It sits beside a window with CARPET as "substrate" and a heating pad beneath this. One measly hide the snake doesnt even look like he fits into, a water bowl and a branch. In the photos this snake is out on a branch in broad daylight. He is dry, he is discolored...I cant believe someone could treat an animal this way, not to research before owning one.

Ive got vlad in my bedroom and Im confident in my ability to run a healthy environment for my BP. I would need a bigger humidifier and another surface for his tank but are there problems I could encounter here? Should I not have these two in the same room? Ive got another tank here I could move (his name is Thumper) into. I feel sick and angry, I pride my snake's well being and I don't know if I should jump on this before another uneducated fool "rescues" him!
