To adopt or not?

[neonresidue]

IF you decide against taking her in, at least please suggest they regulate their heat and please
invite them here for suggestions, or by the time she gets adopted, she may have burns that threaten her life.

This was a big concern for me, too. If we decide against it, I'm going to recommend that they take her back to the local reptile shop where they adopted her to see if they can rehome her for them.

You didn't mention whether she is for sale or just free to good home; if for sale, you definitely have some room to haggle, based on what you describe. Few "rescues" are perfect...it's ultimately your call.

I got so excited when I saw her listing because I thought, wow, $150 for the full set-up and a healthy snake! But now I realize that we'd be spending at least that much to get her properly set up at our house. Negotiations are definitely in order.

Thank you for your reply!
