What about the sellers though? If they don't screen the home, or are not taking care of the animal it is one thing BUT if they are careful and sell to you cheap because they believe you will keep the animal long term and provide an excellent home etc...then I would see that as immoral.

I may have to rehome my ball python at some point, if I do I will likely ask very little for her and send her off with a custom cage simply because I want her to have a comfortable setup. If someone lied to me and said they would keep her long term only to flip her on craigslist and make a profit from the cage and the animal I would be very very unhappy indeed. It wouldn't be about the money as much as the fact I want to make sure she goes to a mature and caring home and don't want her dragged around or mistreated by some adolescent male that thinks snakes make cool and scary pets to impress his friends with.

In fact just reading this I definitely won't think of advertising on craigstlist or any where else online if I choose to rehome her.
