The problem is NOT the snake. This person also says you may only have ONE animal. That is a control issue. Being an animal lover is like someone who wants a ton of kids, when you are ready to settle down find someone who likes, or at least will loving tolerate, what you love.

I used to be into Doberman rescue, and as a rule I would NOT place Dobermans with single guys unless they were very settled (I realize you are not a guy) because I was not going to have the guy hook up with some female that didn't want a dog in the house and then abandon his dog. That is just wrong. One should never abandon their kids or pets in favor of a new lover.
