You made the right decision Den, at the end of the day you take the rescues on for whatever reason and need to be 100% happy with their new home, if you have any doubts then the answer has to be no

There is nothing to insulate the back walls so how are they going to keep up temps and the sides of the cages are made of a wood with no finish which in my opinion is just asking for infection problems as you can't eficiently clean it. That floor is dicusting.

Oh I have no doubt there Steve. Since the initial enquiry from this place we have made our own enquiries and the feedback for this place hasn't been good at all.

I can see they have a goat.
They are situated in the Bacup, which isn't too far from me. It's a 'Petting Zoo' sort of.... instantly Dr evil springs to mind with his famour quote but I will I will refrain from repeating his quote.

I just sent the pictures to Stevie Wonder for his approval.
He said he couldn't see any problems.

That is sickening, they could have done so much better with the space they look like they have, where is the uv lighting ? (or have i just not spotted it ?!?) that poor snake aswell, How the hell do they still have the animals !!!!!!!
Im currently working on a seasure with the local council and trust me the place we are going to is in better conditions than those in your photos.
I used to work in a petting zoo/open farm and we used to get visits every few months from the council to just do a general check, so how is this place getting away with it

Fair play to you for saying no.
