1. snake only eat once every three months?
2. do they drink water?
3. do they eat crickets(SP)?
and i also told him to place a hide in there and he told he wants people to see it that way he can sell it

get used to it. most pet shops don't have hides or a hot/cold side. they plan for the snakes to only be in there a few days tops so they just keep the temps up and think all is good.

there's a petshop near me that is just terrible. they've had a blue tongue skink in there for months (like 6+ months) that doesnt look like its ever been fed in there care. they have a 2 foot dumerils monitor in a 18 inch x 18 inch enclosure. they have multiple adult balls in 18 inch x 18 inch enclosures, they also had a full grown basilisk lizard in an 18x18inch enclosure. the list gos on and on. ive given up on petstores. i just use them for feeders.

it wasnt even that hard to understand. no need to be rude.

he said, "see, i must say around here most shops are good, not great, but good and all the other shops i go into know what a snake eats. this one didn't know anything."

he must have just typed it really fast.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like an a$$. But that one was hurting my head trying to read it.

i work at a mom n pop petstore called pet forum and im the snake guy and my friend brad is the lizzard guy we take the very best care possible of the animals with what we are given and 1 animal per tank is a comodity that we dont have but we do keep them in sufficently large enough tanks its really cool b/c what i say goes and i have all the resources the store has to offer so whatever hides i want in there go whatever heating set up i want goes and the best part is i get to order the animals

Same here - I try to stay out of them - I order my insects online and just go to my friend's store to get my rodents - I know I won't see anything to upset me in there.
