Re: sand boa pinkies?..

From what you're saying, that snake definitely needs to be on some hoppers or fuzzies. There's alot of neglectful or just ignorant people on Craigslist.

Yeah, I ran across a CL add awhile back, and someone was selling a 3 year old Cali King Snake still on 2 pinkies!

So sad. I wish people would just do their research before buying a snake...ANY snake.

i have the money to buy her and save her, but currently with my working situation, i dont know if i should. making ends meet is hard right now. and i dont have anywhere to put her.

in additition, i've never had a sand boa, always rats, corns, and garters. i dont know much about them at all.

Gotta realize that you cant rescue every animal. Ive looked on craigslist and seen numerous posts on with snakes that desperately need a new home. If you dont have everything ready to go, and money is tight, then dont rescue it, not fair for the animal to go to a new home and find out that you cant care for it because of no money.. :/

Brilliant post.

Even when people have good intentions it doesn't mean it's the best situation for the animal.

Sometimes rescues need to be rescued from the rescuer.

It sucks, trust me. I see plenty of snakes I can save but just like you, I just do not have the room for another one.
