I went to the pet store I usually do to grab my feeders. My girlfriend decided to come with me to look for a few things for her hamster. Not finding what she was looking for at that pet store (usually has really knowledgeable people, one of them even breeds leo's), we decided to go to another chain: PetSmart (we live in Canada).
This PetSmart usually has live reptiles: beardies, anoles, leo's, corns, balls and the like. Well today we were perusing the reptile area and they had a boa. A quick glance at the husbandry showed they knew a few things about boa care, but when the employee pulled the boa out of the enclosure which was obviously an anery by the absence of red pigment, I asked where the snake was from, as in locality. Her response 'You mean like the breeder?'
Uninformed employees are just one more reason I would never buy a reptile from a chain store. At least the animal looked to be in good health.
