I understand the situation you are in and I do not believe that everyone here thinks you are a horrible person for what has happened. This community is very dedicated to reptiles but there are many of us that can understand where you are coming from. If you do not receive any offers soon, please consider the offer brook made. I know you are trying to recoup some losses, but you will not get anything for that snake if it dies.
I do not know why someone would say you should not sell this animal to Brook, but that information is at your discretion to believe or dismiss. I do feel badly for you and the horrible situation you have been put in, but that does not make you the bad guy in any way. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this tenant and hope that she will eventually grow up and take on some responsibility, or that someone recognizes the danger her daughter is in a calls child services.
