As said I have done so in the past, but am looking for a more long term solution this time.
He does not want to sell the snake. And we have offered to take care of it on many occasions. But he insists he will get it a better enclosure Eventually... as he has been saying for the past 4 months
Sounds like spca might be a good option..
Would spca find it another home or put it down though? |

Do the research on google yourself and look up photos of mites/ticks and why its sitting in its water dish,etc. It is better if you can tell the vets whats wrong as they usually consult a book anyway. |

Dont be a spectator, people that are doers for those that cannot (animals) are the ones that sleep well at night. Watching a neglected animal deteriate in front of your eyes is sometimes as bad as the person commiting the abuse. Face it this person that is obviously not going to change, or has any care for his animal
BE A DO'er.

If i went about it through the rspca, would they revoke his reptile license or anything like that? |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-08 Location: Orange, 2800 Age/Gender: 21 | | | | When getting a licence is so easy, and its even easier to find snakes on the 'black market' this is the type of thing that happens everywhere. I have a photo of a corn snake on the wall at work and i get people (customers) offering me a corn snake, diamond or carpet probably 3 times a week.... | | |
