Thanks everyone, I'll be sure to keep you updated.
Look, I'm upset about the loss of the snake but I'm not vindictive. She didn't mean to lose her, and she was just trying to help, because she was worried about Basilica getting too hot. She likes my snakes, and I don't mind if she holds them. The snake in question cost me a grand total of $35, alright---but it's not the money, and I don't want a replacement. It's the loss of a valued and loved pet that bothers me, not the loss of a 'collection piece' or monetary investment. As for getting petty revenge---No. I love the cats and dogs as much as I love my snakes, and I would NEVER abandon an animal like that. It sickens me that someone would even suggest such a thing.
