Last month we was approached by a commercial enterprise (I will not mention any names) to rehome every animal we had for rehoming and I asked several questions etc and asked for some pictures of their current set ups. After seeing the pictures I declined to rehome anything to them and they responded in a pissed off manner and suggested I go into child care. So our of interest I am wondering what you all think of the said pictures?

that is ridiculous!! nothing covering the bulbs, damp brickwork, what looked like a concrete floor which was quite clearly suffering from the amount of goat poop on it (guessing from the gross stain and the goat in the corner of the pic) and that poor snake!! they should work for the RSPCA....similar values n all that

i see a awful lot of effort expended just to have failed...

all those things could be made into great habitats though with some changes....

... IMO.
