We have 2 wings of the house; 1 for quarantine, 1 for mainstay. So we do have "room". It certainly doesn't look like a professional breeder's or keeper's house would, as we have wall-to-wall snakes at the moment in our mainstay room.

I am an adult and do very much understand when something is not best for the animal. I've been an animal rescuer for over 20 years. If it's not space, it's ensuring there's enough financing for both maintenance and vet costs, so nothing is done haphazardly.

I' ve learned not to assume good or bad...especially with adults, and also unfortunately I have learned that years of experience can mean very little sometimes, but that's not the case here. I'm certain they're in good hands and it sounds like you have a great handle on everything. Don't shoot the messenger.

Sorry, I'm sick and in a crappy mood and decided the internet was my friend no shooting the messenger. I'm going to bed now....
