So I went into petsmart yesterday to pick up some substrate and other random things. One of the employees came up to me and started chatting with me about what reptile I had. Turns out he was asking me all these questions because they are trying to sell a bp that was returned to them because it is "mean" for half price. When he told me it was "mean" I had to check it out because I've never heard of a "mean" bp. So the employee takes me in this back room and right from the start I can see that this poor guy was treated like crap. There are pieces of shed skin laying around and there are still lots of pieces stuck to him. You can't put your hand near him or he will strike. From what I saw the eye caps are off so he could see just fine but I'm guessing he is just miserable.
Now they want $40 for him cuz they normally sell them for 80. I didn't even pay $40 for my super sweet bp. I don't have a whole lot of money to be thrown around but I do have an extra 20 gal tank. I'd have to buy all the husbandry for the tank and an UTH. Which wouldn't be cheap at all. I can't really afford all of that but I can't stop thinking about how miserable that poor guy is, and how much I want to make him feel better.
What do you all think I should do?
