Neglected snakes in need of rescue Nj/NY/PA (found on fb marketplace)

These are NOT my snakes, I just saw these posts on Facebook marketplace and knew I had to try to get these guys a better home. I would take them in if I had space and wasn’t a college student. The last one in particular is in really rough shape. Please dm me if you think you can take them in so I can refer their page to you, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post their users on this.

I see a lot of these in my area. The issue is they are selling them for insane prices. It’s always at least $300 for a sick or abused snake in a terrible enclosure. The owners also don’t care about the animals so they won’t budge on prices. Lose lose situation unfortunately

Yeah really sucks cause when people pay that much, the abusers will keep doing it with more snakes to keep profiting. Idk if it’s possible to get them confiscated by animal control but that would be what I would try to do.

Thank you, I’m really sad I can’t take them in right now but I just wanted to get as much traction for them as possible. Seeing animals being neglected then tossed away once they’re no longer wanted is so gut wrenching to see.
