Rehoming my girls

[Catherine]

If he had released them, they would have died. They wouldn't know how to hunt and they would have died in winter. Our local snakes hibernate. Corn snakes are from a warmer climate and they know nothing about finding a den and they can't become that dormant. The best they do is have a few quiet weeks each winter.

They are beautiful girls and I am glad to have them home. They remember me and are glad to be here.

Some people should never get an animal. They do not understand about the commitment involved. I always tell people how long an animal will live. If you can't do it, don't do it.

Releasing pets is the worst thing you can do. If they do survive they can create an eco-disaster. You put your whole environment at risk.
You never know which released species is going to cause a serious problem. Look at goldfish. They seem harmless, but the have destroyed some lakes because they multiply so fast and grow so big.
