A deal that we could refuse..

[MPenn]

My husband, Mark, works as a tattooist, and let's say, he gets many rather interesting people in the shop. So this guy walks in, and they start talking snakes. Guy offers Mark his 12' burn for $50..
Mark actually called me to ask if I wanted it! I said, no way. I am sticking to my relatively safe "little" BPs and one male BCI.
It just worries me that someone with little regard for their giant, would dump it off on someone who could have never even handled one before. But that's how it goes, I guess.. yipes.
I have all of the admiration in the world for those who keep these beautiful giants and cause them to thrive in their care.

i can't believe he wanted money for it. whoever buys it is doing him a favor since he can't take care of it any more.

I have not seen in the original post where the owner says that he can not take care of it anymore. Just because he has decided to sell it, does not mean that he can not take care of it. At least he talked with someone (Mark) that has snake experience instead of running an ad in the local newspaper.
But taking in or buying any snake with the potential to grow large should not be taken lightly.
