Around my house there is this homeless person, who owns what I belive to be a BCI (the coloration is almost as dull as a hogg island, but pattern is that of a bci) its supposed to be 4 years old, and only about 4' long if that. Its kept in a duffel bag, and has a sock for a hide. no heat, no water (unless its getting water from the nearby marsh.) and no food. She will not give this snake up, unless she gets 100.00 for it, which is more than I have. Anyone in the area maybe able to help? I'd buy it, if I had the 100.00 extra dollars to spend but unfortunately I am broke, any of you into snakes, and want a BCI?

So I hope this will help. There was an abused boa over here near me and people were offering to send money orders to buy the snake from the people they are all very kind people over on that site. Im sure you will hear from them.

Or even the police? If nothing is done the snake may die. It may even have a raspatory infection rite now due to no heating. It just isn't fair to the poor animal.

Buying the snake would only encourage this person to get another one and do the same thing. Report her and save the animal.

If not, try calling your town office or city hall and ask who is in charge of 'reptile welfare issues'. Rick _________________ Sisco Reptiles - Proud Breeder of the Tamest & Most Social Tegus.

I hope that something can be done. I have seen snakes that look healthy that die and are filled with puss in their lungs. Had a friend that worked in a reptile store long time ago. Sad stuff! Good Luck!!!!

Back to top Shan Honored Member Joined: Jul 26, 2005 Posts: 155 Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2005 2:34 pm    Post subject: Thats so good. I am so glad that you pushed for this and are getting the snake. I hope that I didn't offend you either on the other post. It was not what I was trying to do. I assumed things and I am sorry. But I am happy for you and Bunny. Please post some pictures!!
