    well, my day kinda sucked. i woke up, and my heat lamp lightbulb burnt out, luckily just as i woke up. so me, my mom, and my girlfriend go to a petstore to get one. well we get there, and i do my usual, and get what i need then go check out the snakes. they had 2 ball pythons, 2 corn snakes, a green anaconda, and a red tail boa. the BPs had no hide. none of them did, except the green anaconda, but it was to small. the corn snakes housing was full of old sheds, which were not in one piece. all the cages were those reptariums, so they dont hold humidity or heat well. so i asked to hold the snakes. i held the green anaconda first. it was really docile, really friendly. then i held the red tail boa. it was the same. last i held the baby BPs. all seemed healthy. well, while im doing this, my girlfriend and my mom, who both like rats, were buying some rats. so we go out to my truck and im trying to organize it to make room, cause it was really dirty. while im doing this my mom and my girlfriend are looking at these rats. i here my mom scream, and when i get out of the truck i asked what was wrong. my mom said the rat bit here and they closed the box with the rat. my moms finger was bleeding, pretty bad. so i take the box, and open it, and this rat looks like a sewer rat! its huge! so i tell my mom to put pressure on the bite and i go back into the store to return it. my girlfriend went in with the rat ahead of me, and was already talking to the guy. i walked in and just went nuts. i told him that he was stupid for selling someone a rat that size when he knew it was for a pet, and i told him what happened. i told him to tell the next person that buys that rat that its dangerous. then i tell the guy about how poor the stores caring for the snakes were. i forgot to mention there was dryed feces in the cages! this store made a really bad impression on me. there stuff was over priced, they didnt take god enough care of there snakes, and all other reptiles, they sold dangerous animals. the guy didnt even warn us about the rat. well, i came home, and thawed a rat for rex. put it in his cage, he snapped a couple times, but he didnt eat. he hasnt ate for 13days now. handling with him is going good tho. hope fully hes ok. i noticed though that the rat pups look a little small for him. hes around 18-20in long. i dont really want to try feeding more then one at a time though. sorry, just had to share my horrible day with you all. im still mad cause of that petshop.

    I guess about 70% of pet shops are pure crap.

    When it comes to the Reptile aspect of Pet Stores I think they're all 95% POOP. Unless they're strickly a reptile pet store.

    I have decided that i am going to do something once school lets out that will probably end up landing me in jail. I am going to go on a mission to seek out every pet store that i can find in the area &, my PLAN is to keep my cool & pass out care sheets for their reptiles, snakes in particular. But, I get the feeling that at some points the staff is not going to want to be told how to care for their animals & I am just gunna snap.
    Life is like a game of poker. You can play each hand to the best of your ability but you are still going to run into a bad beat from time to time. What matters is how you handle it. Do you go on tilt or can you maintain your composure & rebuild your stack?

    Well I got my first BP from a strictly reptile pet store and they sucked too, although I didn't know that at the time. I'm NEVER going there again.

    Well, I was a math major in college, so that makes me a double nerd.

    Oh and I love star wars so make that a triple nerd:

    Herpnerd, Math Nerd, and Star Wars Nerd. That's me! :wink:

    LOL, you are a triple nerd! My mom double-majored in math and geology and was the only woman in either program when she was in college -- there's a nerd for ya. And since I work with computer geek stuff for a living, I guess I'm a double nerd.

    I've been toying with computers since age 8 when I learned the basics of DOS from there it was HTML and since then I've slowed down but learned a lot of OS stuff and how to build a computer and format... basics now really haha..
    I also was an audio engineer for about a year and a half so I can talk mics and direct boxes with the best
    Growing up my role model was Wolverine (I have the first issue of Wolverine the comic... not weapon X but the first official Wolverine comic)
    I also play a bunch of instruments though I'm sure steelsack could play me under the table If you wanna chat tunes drop me a PM
    I love being nerdy but I couldn't appreciate it until college haha I'm the opposite of a math nerd.. I'm 22, in my last semester of college and can't long divide... that's why I have an accountant for the company I'm starting up haha
