Thank you everyone for your prompt replies! It doesn't say anything about not adopting out to snake-owners, and in fact, the foster mom even said so herself. She's going to come by later this week to see the conditions of the home and make sure it's safe for him. Funny how between the individual calling us on behalf of the organisation said it was the foster mom and the foster mom said it was the organisation. I did not want this drama, but like what @hannahrenee said, just another reason to stop shopping there. We went to other shelters in the area prior to Petsmart, but this little one seemed to be calling out to my girlfriend especially.
Thanks again. If things get nasty after the welfare check, I'll definitely point out the discrepancies on their end. Not going down without a fight.
