He won't listen. We gave him a few 10g tanks with screen lids last year (with heat pads and a rheostat!) and came over a few weeks later and the snakes were all back in the "cage" he made for them. It is an old dresser with a glass door that just barely locks and he has escapees pretty often. I know, this makes me mad, and I am sorry for posting here really because this is just a lot of crap that I have no control over, but it does feel good to vent. I just hope that karma is real, and bites him in the behind.
