I meet alot of people like that. Just so happens majority of the snakes that get too big for the keepers in Toledo, wind up with me. I've even come home from work to find a snake sitting in a pillow case at my door step! I clean them up, get them fattened up a bit and back to proper weight, and find a much better home for them at a $20 adoption fee. What's sick is the size where they "got to big" is normally around 7-8' or so! That's only a 12-16 month old Burm!

Just what in holy hell did they think a burm would get?????? Bit like buying a Great Dane puppy and then being shocked it grew into a huge dog! At least that unwanted dog might have a chance to be rehomed, giant snakes...not so much.

Gawd but some humans irritate me!
