This made me so mad!

I was at a local pet store to get a pair of rats so I can breed them. As I past the herp section I saw a red tail boa and a ball python,in the same cage! That was the worst thing I seen I've ever seen at that pet store. Has anybody encountered any thing like this?

i'm sure a lot have...did you say anything? pet stores are notorious for idiocy

No, I didn't want to start anyhing. Also I'm only 10 years old they will not believe me and think I'm a moron.

A pet shop close to me that is "supossed" to be one of the best from what other people have told me have a 30 gallon tank with 2 bigger balls, 1 redtail, and one burm. I wont even get started on the other things they do or any of the other pet shops around here.

WOW!:eek: That is even worse.

Just because you are young doesn't mean you don't know what you are talking about! If you want "back up" print out info from the computer and show them.

All the time. I never say anything, though. I have the diplomacy skills of a gun-toting Cheney at a Vegan festival.

On a side note, I just stopped by the local pet-o-rama in mansfield and was surprised at well everything was cared for. They had a staff member on site who was solely in charge of herps. While talking to him for 30 minutes, he was applying balm to a tortosie shell, separating out larger bearded dragons, ensuring cages were clean. He said he handles the retic. python daily to ensure it was use to people. He was in charge of the inventrory and made sure they had a variety of animals. He even owned several snakes himself. So the point of all this is.....not all pet stores are bad.:sunny:

Thank you alot for that reply. Next time I go there I will show them something about housing 2 snakes together without breeding them.
