Actually, you guys are right in that we don't have all the info. I thought of that last night. We don't really have the whole back story any way. But if you think any confiscated crate of tegus is going to a humane society to be cared for and adopted out, that is just not happening. They can't even afford to care for all the cats and dogs they have.

I was going to adopt a Burm python last week that was a group of 5 being either surrendered or confiscated. The rescue group I was working with was going to get them (in S FL) the same day. They were in good condition, 4 albinos and 1 normal. All were euthanized before the Burm rescue group could get to them. Tegus, igs, Burms are all invasive in FL. No one is going to spend money on holding them. Now I would think it pretty shady if police were taking other property and selling it, but live animals are rather gray for me.
