I said no because I expect something. Not always money but they must show me they can care for them I just gave away 2 torts last month but drilled the poor guy on how they would be cared for. Had him do research work before I considered placing them. He also had to buy supplies for them.
At the other extreme, if I feel someone is not a good home I won't sell no matter what. I actually had someone get angry with me because I was given a snake that he knew I was working on placing. I refused to even sell it to him at a good price. Too many times this person told me of snakes or lizards dying in his care for any number of reasons. Whether I bought the snake or it was a rescue it doesn't deserve to be put in a bad situation.
