he said he wasn't keeping it because it cost to much money to feed, apparently it ate more then his red tail boa.

i just see no point in taking the risk of keeping a wild caught snake when you can get a nice tame captive bred corn snake for $20 from a breeder. when the snake is and i quote, "Meanest(sp) snake in the world". they maybe hardy, but does that say they don't have parasite, or any other kind of disease it can pass on to other snakes, reptiles, pets, ect. there's no guarantee that he will ever be able to actually hold it as it may never calm down. so what kind of pet is that?

the kid had a very nice set up, lots of room to climb around, and plenty of space to hide out, its a corn snake heaven. it's not like they are hard to find.

i hope no one takes this personal, i just thought i would throw some reason behind my previous statement. no harm intended.
