I am so excited! I was in a Petco today, because unfortunately the only places that sell reptiles in Lincoln, NE are Petco and Petsmart. I was looking in a tank where they had a pastel (wierd a pastel at petco I know right?) and it was curled up underneath the water dish. The "reptile guy" was standing next to me so I told hey if you put a couple smaller hides in there he won't do that and preceded to tell him how ball pythons prefer hides that are smaller so they can feel snug and secure in and they don't really like wide open spaces. Had a vine a huge half log hide and a water dish in there. He said oh I will change that out then, he also said you used to have more fake foliage in the tank but they complained because they "couldn't see" the animal as well. Anyway I was proud of myself for having the courage to say something.

PS They had a nice reduce pattern in there normal tank I'm not gonna lie I was tempted lol!
