well hears a sort of a long story

this kid down the street used to own at one point 6 or 7 snakes. his mom had money so she chould buy them easly. and hes now 11..
the thing is, hes realy abusive to animals, and hass all sorts of mental problems.. not the poor kid mental problems but the damn hes nuts kinda mental problems..
hell hold cats down by the tell and not let them go, he even took a razor and shaved his cat.. when he was asked y, he had no reasion... hes the kinda kid that fire works up a frogs butt... hes sent my lil sis to the hospital by bending her finger so far back whelie he was "playing"....
all his snakes died cept 4, one i paid 20 buck for 3 or so months ago.
one of his older snakes died becus it had some major mite problem..
the other died cus he taped his lid on, and its skin was riped off when he pulled the tape off!!

he allso hits one snake in the head.. and now its tromitized some how.. it hisses when picked up, and swings its head around.. i allso bleave hes in the begining stages of mouth rot! this kid never changed or cleanded the watter dishes..
the other hasnt eaten in 3 weeks...
the 3rd is at the pet store, *the owner of it is a real nice guy, and will watch and take care of ur pet if u pay for food* for moth rot.. hes geting a lil beater from what i hear and when cured and if he lives ill get him...

so the 3 snakes *2 ball pythons, and one retic. python* Pluss a 40 gallion wide, a 10 gall and all the heat lamps, dishes, food thay had left, suplies ect ect only cost me 50$!!

so be glad thear going to a good home whear thay will be taken care of! :D i just hope i can fix the damage thats already done! :(

A retic? My goodness, you're brave. :eek: I hope you know that thing could end up anywhere from 12-33 feet in length? How big is it now? The 40 might not even be big enough.

What are you housing the ball pythons in? I'd only put hatchlings in a 10g, personally, and NEVER together. Once they're more than a year old, each should have a 20g--mine got one from my dad for his first Christmas last year. :D Also, heat lamps are terrible for ball pythons, as they dry up all the humidity which seriously screws their health. Undertank heating pads are the way to go.

Why havent you reported this yet??? This kid needs serious help, he is a minor and if his parents arent doing anything about his abuse to others then something is VERY wrong there.

Your old enough to call someone about this, then you can save ALL the animals from this kid.

You...CAN do it, much like you CAN choose to ride in the back of a pickup truck on the freeway. It isn't a good idea, though--the animals get zero benefit and plenty of potential bad things from it. It's a source of stress (you said one wasn't eating? This could very well make it worse), disease, parasites, cannibalism risk...if these animals were kept in horrible conditions before, the absolute last thing they need now is the risk of weakening their health further. Also they'll keep reinfecting one another if even one of them is even slightly sick, and you won't be able to keep track of things like "who has pooped."

Get them ALL seperate tanks ASAP, I beg you. :(
