We're always talking about pet stores here, especially when they are bad.

But I gotta say I was buying some f/t mice yesterday and a striped Cali king caught my eye. Nothing special really, nothing exotic, But it came out as I was looking for the geckos that were supposedly in one cage. As I chatted with the employee nearby she let me handle it.

My finances are in pretty good shape now, and I have two colubrid cages set up. It had such a cool personality. I figured though I'd shake it off but I can't help but ponder that snake.

Still Big Chain pet stores can have poor husbandry. And I prefer to do buisness with breeders, but I dunno alot of colubrid breeders.

So I wondered if any of the pros here ever bought from pet smart. Or is it just the ultimate noob move. Maybe I should just let the idea go, it was a really cool little snake though.
