Hey now, not all people with alcohol issues are losers. I am a raging alcoholic /addict coming up on 6 years sober.
Unfortunately, alcoholism is a very real disease. We wouldn't be calling him a loser for being diabetic or if he couldn't care for his pets because he had cancer, now would we?

Sorry, I wasn't thinking about you nor about anyone else with an alcohol issue...I was talking specifically about that guy...a guy who made bad decisions...
and yes, alcohol is yet another bad decision, but I was actually responding to THIS description by the OP:

Well....I picked him up. Thank god I did. He was not in the size enclosure the guy said he was. He has one hide that he doesn’t even fit under. A heat mat that was barely attached and not on a thermostat and no heat lamp. He was so cold when I picked him up. He is VERY sweet though....

So Craig, please don't put words in my mouth & don't make something personal that isn't, okay? When it came to caring for that snake, the guy was a "loser", but so were the well-heeled
people in Palm Springs that I got a tick-covered ball python from many years ago, and as far as I know they weren't drinkers, just people who got pets as toys & didn't take care of them.

Maybe I shouldn't call anyone a loser but I'm human & I care passionately about animal abuse. His drinking was incidental, not the reason for the label...but do stay sober, we all need you.

No worries at all. I didn't take it personally. Obviously that topic is close to my heart and I can be a bit passionate at times.
I apologize if I put words in your mouth, it wasn't my intent.
