Buying that snake only encourages them. Either get them to give it to you for free or walk away. I've seen skin and bones ball pythons at the Petco here. I will not buy one and enable them to keep doing that to other animals. Same thing with the sad fungus-y bettas I see at walmart. I know I could give them a better life but if I were to buy to rescue them, it shows walmart that they sell and will keep stocking them.
