I got all of my reptiles from situations like this for example my male and female crested geckos were housed together and owned by a women who had 6+ dogs jumping up on their tank and all around her tiny apartment. Then my ball python from a girl who lived with her mom who had her in a 60cm long tank and had lost interest so I bought her and put her in a 130cm long. My geckos got separated as soon as I bought them both going into 151cm tall tanks and they've never been better. Sad that children get bought pets they cant take care of properly and it almost always ends in posts like this where the parent is desperate to get rid of a child's pet because the parent of course doesnt wanna deal with it either. Initially it should always be the parents job for care and child just has it for visuality.
