I was thinking it looked sort of skink'ish. Poor thing!! I need to stay off of craigslist, or win the dang lottery.

Lol, I know what you mean! I need to stay off craigslist, as well. In the last couple months, I have rescued three young tortoises and a hatchling bearded dragon from CL people. (The beardie and one tortoise passed away, unfortunately--I really do mean "rescue"! The other two don't look very good, but they're hanging in there..)

Not to mention the sheer temptation sometimes! I've been wanting to try my hand at breeding certain skinks... And then Craigslist had to go and gift me with a (allegedly) proven pair of Fire skinks and a pair of Schneider's skinks. LOL. I'm having to re-learn how to say NO!

Not sure what it is but I'm pretty sure it is illegal to catch and then sell snakes in Maryland.

Can anyone Id this little guy? I'm really hoping he's an actual water snake and not some poor ground animal that's now struggling in a jar. I've emailed the guy just because I want to get this poor animal out of this jerks hands.

here's a field guide for Maryland-looks like it may be a northern water snake,hard to see from the pic

even being a water snake,it's not supposed to be constantly in the water,what a jerk!

here's a link to the law about selling wild caught snakes in Maryland,he'd be required to have a permit to sell it:

Thanks for the info! Still haven't heard back. Worried about that poor animal. How do I even go about reporting it? Or do I not even try and just get the little snake and set him back where he belongs?

Do I win yet?

Man, craigslist has been fun so far this year, I've actually managed to stay off it except for selling off excess feeder rabbits/ones I find too cute to feed to things... Here's the latest ad:

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/pet/3820497422.html

Lovely, lets feed a retic a live prey item out of it's enclosure, a prey item that is frankly much too large for the snake.... People like this are what jeopardizes ME and my ability to keep large constrictors...

In other news, new people move into town, start hoarding snakes that they aren't feeding, giving anywhere near decent enclosures, or enough water and start trying to sell above market value on craigslist, the pictures I got of the bps and the conda they had showed a pretty starved/dehydrated animal. Thankfully, they lived on base which has a limit of animals/restrictions on exotics. Few minutes of internet searching to track down their address and a couple phone calls to base authorities took care of that in a hurry.
