just rescued this guy from one of those chain stores
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

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

being in one of those stores, the odds were not in his favor
Re: just rescued this guy from one of those chain stores
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!

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.
