Snakes-r-us

SNAKES R US Rescue was set up because there were too many people who thought it would be nice to have their own reptile after seeing such films as Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Jurassic park, Anaconda ect... without looking deep enough within themselves to do enough research like buying a book for a fiver before purchasing such an animal. Then there is the flip side of the coin, I'm talking about the retailers, there are so many people trying to make a quick buck selling cute little animals like little cuddly Iguanas which they fail to inform you will grow to six foot and beautiful Burmese pythons which I have personally seen on sale in a shop with a card underneath saying "Maximum size 15 feet long". This is rubbish, females can grow up to THIRTY feet long. I bet most retailers don't tell you that! There are a few retailers however (too few to my mind) who tell it how it is. 

If you are reading this before purchasing a reptile do yourself a favour, spend £5 - £10 on a book about the prospective animal you are thinking of buying, after all you are going to spend between £80 - £200 if not more on the vivarium and setting it up properly. Please don't go and buy an animal then start asking (on forums and such like) how to look after it. This is another thing that makes my blood boil and this is an example of a message I saw on a forum on the Internet. " I've bought this snake. What does it eat and how often." This and other basic information can all be found in books, I personally recommend the books that are published by TFH. All of these books have everything you need to know about basic husbandry of the animal you are thinking of keeping.
