    Thought I could find a link to a rescue group but there seems to be only tortoise/turtle rescues listed at the moment, although sometimes people take in a rehome snakes etc. Would avoid anywhere that ships them to you anyway sometimes they don't travel well depending how they are brought from a to b.

    Bound to be someone looking to rehome their snake though lots of people take them on without doing the research first perhaps check out the free ads etc. and see if there are any people looking to rehome their pet for genuine reasons (eg not because the animal is sick and they don't want to pay vet bill etc.)

    You are looking for a snake a little off season,most are born spring/early summer.
    @ Guineapigrescue,I don't know who told you reptiles don't ship well,I have had snakes shipped thousands of miles and never lost one and seen thousands shipped in my previous job. If they are shipped buy an respected and established breeder you shouldn't have a problem.

    @ Ruanej90 If you are still looking for a cornsnake come spring I can ship no problem,they would be packed to the highest standard as I'm Iata trained in animal packing and checking. ;)
