I was browsing through a popular classified site (the one that can not be named) and came across this.
"I have for sale a juvenile (app. between 6-9 mths old) carpet python for sale. I believe it is a he, though it could be a she. "It" is nearly 5ft long on last shedding, he loves his food and is a garbage, meaning he likes to eat. Sheds well, and has had two sheddings since I got him. His enclosure has been changed by us to suit his needs, as before the tank was too big and the heat globe wouldnt heat the whole area. So we raised the floor, put in a different uv globe and encased the heat and uv globes, decorated the tank, and he is a happy little chappy. Reason for selling? I am terrified of him, husbands idea to have a snake, not mine. Husband has no idea how to care for him, so I'm doing all the work, I have not handled him, he can be territorial in his tank, to me he is only an ornament taking up space, and money. Best go to a knowledgeable home (which we are not) and someone that will handle him and is not scared, like me. He is an awesome looking snake, its just a pity i cant get over my fear. Tank comes with built in thermostat, heat globe, uv light, water dish, rocks, plants , what you see is what you get, there is also a gadget on the outside that tells you the temp of inside of tank and outside of tank, room temp. Basic wildlife license is required. Only genuine interested people apply, to good home only."
It made me laugh. Mods I don't think I have broken the site rules as I haven't added a link or named where I saw it. Correct me if I am wrong. I have taken out the price and location.
