personaly (long before i got into snakes) i was at some ones house who had many snakes when a kid from the neighbor hood come knocking on the door with a puppy in hand telling this person "here, mom said to give this to you to feed it to your snakes" and that is what happened to the poor puppy.

needless to say i didnt stick around once the cage was opened and the pup tossed in, never went back either!

those are the kind of people who give others a bad rep
those are the kind of people who keep the fear of these lovely creatures going.
That is the most awful story I have ever heard. I am glad you left and never went back. I guess the mom sent him over b/c he had a reputation for "disposing" of animals.

That is outrageous. I was just complaining about gas prices, but perhaps there is one good thing about it. The cost of gas to go pick up a free animal can be more than the purchase price of a feeder animal.
