rules for adoption: must be 23 years of age ,know knoledge of the snake you are adopting , and must have adequate space for our big snakes and a way to lock the cage down in case there are children living in your house..ALSO we do take in lizards , monitors, of any kind we have had success in getting them new homes please contact us if you wish to surrender them to us we will find them new homes for you and you may contact us to check on thier progress at any time.If you have young children please think about what type of snake you are getting , if you plan to buy a big constrictor we ask you please to reconsider buying a smaller reptile , big constrictors are not a good pet to have in your house with a young child .
ADOPTION RULES FOR HAVING CHILDREN AND ADOPTING A SNAKE FROM US .
We have no problem but if you have a child under the age of 10 years old we must approve the cage first .
also if you own a big snake we do not sell to people with another big snake , in our opinion 2 big snakes is to much for anyone ...
