Rant

I found out that a guy I work with (at home depot) also works at a near by pet store. It is a pretty decent pet store when it comes to reptile care. But oh did I have to bite my tongue when I found out this guy had a bp.

I was looking at bigger hides for LD when he came over to say hi. He then proceeded to ask me why I needed two hides (hmm I thought you had a bp?) He then asked if I had a female to mate to his male. I do not so that ended that. He then told me his snake hadn't eaten in 11 months and he was force feeding it (I am screaming inside). I ask him why he finds that necessary. He replies "I have been feeding him like that for 6 months" (gee, I wonder why your snake wont eat!!)

He then offers me one of his *extra* hides (no thanks, I don't want your mites). Then the topper on the cake - he doesn't use UTHs because they get too hot (at least he knows that) so the 100 watt lamp he has is turned on EVERY FEW DAYS

I try to tell him a few things without being pushy - but I can tell he doesn't care.

*****AND HE WORKS AT A PET STORE THAT SELLS SNAKES ON HIS ADVICE********

I wanted to cry...
