thinking about releasing albino corn.

i live in new mexico and i have an albino corn i havent been able to sell, pet stores wont take in either. thinking about letting go in wild but want to have some research on it before i do. i couldnt find any threads on subject.

Releasing a snake like that is a certain death sentence as well as most likely illegal. Can't you advertise in Craigs list or find a rescue in your area? Remember, to advertise snakes for sale or free here you need to be a contributing member.

First, that is absolutely illegal.

Second, it is horrible unethical/immoral to do so. Albinos tend to do poorly in the wild, and you live in arid environment quite unlike corn snake natural habitat.

If you release it, it will likely die.

If you don't care about that fact, take it to a vet and have it euthanised.

Have you considered... putting it up for all of $10 on craigslist? Have you talked to local reptile clubs? Have you spoken with local veterinarians and their staff to see if someone would take the snake for you? I'm betting the answer is 'no'.


Also, why can't you just *keep* it?

iv put in paper, crrigslist, alibi for free. talk to pet stores no body want it. ithats why came to this site to maybe find some one in my area that will take her in. i just had baby and she aint getting attention she needs. want good home fro her. thanks for info i wont release her. just need to find place to take her in my area.

What about putting up signs on bulletin boards in grocery stores, feed stores, pet stores, etc.?

yeah i guess thats my next bet. really didnt think it would be this hard to find some one willing to take her in. you wouldnt happen to know any members on this site from nm you can put me in touch with?

What about on Facebook? Do you have an account on there?

i dont. not on computer to much but i just reg with that site you gave me. looks promising. thanks again.

Snakes don't really need any attention. If her habitat is right, just change her water every other day (takes about 45 seconds), and toss her a mouse once a week (with thawing, shouldn't take more than 20 minutes), poop scooping/cleaning maybe 20 minutes on a bad day (but about 10 minutes on average) per week....so you are looking at less than 40 minutes a week to give her all the "attention" she needs!
