I actually have to get rid of two of my snakes if I want the sunglow project. Honestly it is bothering me quite a bit but it is what I have to do if I want my sunglows.

Now on a side note my baby bci Gabby will never be sold traded or bartered.
I understand and I certainly an NOT here to judge you or anyone else. We have bought a baby snake in the past dirt cheap and in a few months time sold it for more than twice what we paid for it. It was never our intention on keeping it as a pet. That having been said, sometimes I wonder what became of that snake and how she is doing.

What I would like to do is relate a short story about a little albino Burm named Butters. This snake was so sweet but some friends of ours traded that snake for a Boa another friend of ours had. This other friend did not keep the Burm because he lived in an apartment. Anyway, Butters was passed around several times, and in so doing, picked up mites, battlescars from who knows what, was dehydrated, underweight and going though a bad shed. The original couple was able to get him back and when they saw the shape he was in, they vowed he was going nowhere and they nursed him back to health. This is one example of several that Ive seen that really confirmed in my mind why I think the way I do.
