just rescued this guy from one of those chain stores

[se7en]

as i'm sure most of you are well aware, reptiles do not usually receive adequate care in the chain stores

this guy has some stuck shed that will be a relatively easy fix

he appears to be a healthy weight, plus mite free

still quarantined though

Really like his pattern, especially the last big saddle in the group of saddles in his middle. What are you planning on plugging him into?

no plans at the moment. having a visual recessive gene male never hurts though. 100% het offspring are never difficult to sell.

He's beautiful!
Glad to learn he has a good home.

So how is this a RESCUE from a store??? Looks very healthy even your description says it is

being in one of those stores, the odds were not in his favor

I've never quite really understood the "rescue from a chain store" mentality. By purchasing, you're only supporting the store and within days there's another new snake to fill the enclosure?

It's the equivalent of purchasing a puppy from a petstore that purchases from puppy mills. Why not rescue from the shelter or other non-profit rescue organizations...just my opinion though. Congrats on your new purchase- he looks quite healthy!

Did you pay for him?

Agreed. I feel as if this snake was purchased more for breeding or self interest, not a rescue...

You bought a healthy, plump animal, I don't call that a rescue, and the rest is generalization.

I call that a nice purchase.
