Got a message from a friend of a friend telling me that someone was selling a snake so went to have a look. The poor thing was in a faun that hadn't been cleaned for weeks(8 piles of poo) 1hide that was too small and a water bowl that was filthy. Being kept on a heatmat with no thermometer or stat. Paid the idiot and walked out with him. Put him straight into a clean faun with some bits and bobs I had (a full set up). He's alovely amel just over year old going to call him Boozer. Have got a viv to set up now for my new addition. He came with no feeding,shedding or poo records will start from scratch. Why people buy pets they won't or can't look after beats me!!!

Well done taking him in I would have done the same and paid to get him out of there. I don't understand people who neglect snakes, not like they are difficult to care for

Yay for boozer!

Should have gone "oi! Bozo! What's that?" (Point to ceiling, let him check) then grab Boozer and ran away!

Great news that you've rescued him coxymk2, thank goodness for people like u!

Like someone has said already, they don't take much looking after so don't understand how people can neglect them like this.

He seems to be happy and is all over his new viv. He's abit on the skinny side but should soon fatten up with regular feeding.

Ah well done, been there done that. Its strange, these snakes are kept in awful conditions yet they seem so gentle when you handle them. You could forgive them for being grumpy but it just never seems in their nature. I guess they know when people are trying to help them.
