I was at the pet shop last night picking up my feeders for all my babies, when I got to looking at the reptile showcase as usual. They had a really nice ball python, it was definitely a high end normal, and there were a couple blue tongue skinks. Earlier one had become pregnant and had babies in the shop, so they had an excess ammount. I asked to hold one, and to my suprise they allowed me to. It was pretty nice, but had some sharp claws. It was a big one too, it was gentle though. It was great, do any of you out there keep these?
