A giant snake that will require 2 grown men to lift it, and will require a LOT of space, well they have special needs that should be considered too.

For me it is about the animal, first and foremost.
That right there says it, clearly defined. It is not up to the breeder to decide if the customer is capable of caring for the animal. It is up to the customer to decide, hands down.

As for special needs, every animal has special/different needs and care requirements from one another. If you want to lecture me on that, of all people...please, I'm all ears....
