Petsmart carries snakes now....

those "sausages" dont even have any mouse/rat meat in them. if you cant feed a mouse/rat to a snake then dont get one.

//sigh//

I really hope that ones by me don't start carrying snakes. So far the Petco by me doesn't sell snakes *yet*

I don't know much about those snake sausages except that Kathy Love talks about them in her Corn Snakes manual...

Personally, I'd rather feed rats.

Wonder if our local Petsmart is gonna sell snakies...

I don't agree with the whole "snake sausages" either, I think Ocean Nutrition was just trying to get a company to push it's product. The fact that Petsmart is now carrying snakes and selling frozen mice as opposed to live ones to feed the snakes is what I think they were really aiming at.Me personally, I don't mind feeding live, but prefer when my snakes will take f/t cause it's much easier and convenient for me. I would however, NEVER use the sausage thingys.I want to be sure what I'm feeding my snake is in fact, a mouse or rat....with no preservatives..:P

I asked someone who worked at Petsmart the other day and they said the reason they don't sell snakes is because they did a study and found out "...most women won't go into a store that carry snakes" :O

How 'bout them apples?

psssshtt. Most of the time, when I go into a pet store, I usually am drawn to the reptile section first, to see what kind of snakes they have!!!!

same here!..but i'm a big burly man! haha

Petsmart is a corporation of hypocrites. For the longest time they wouldn't sell snakes because they eat rodents. They wouldn't sell feeder rodents. However, they happily will sell you crickets or feeder fish (which apparently aren't as precious as a cute little mousey). So now they decide to start selling snakes, but instead of rodents, they are going to feed them "snake sausages" and no doubt push that on their customers. When a customer comes back in weeks later and tells them their snake died (most likely from starvation because it won't eat snake sausages) they will be told given a refund or a new snake. Yay! Can anyone say idiots?

I agree, complete hypocrites. They'll sell frozen mice but not live ones. I heard a rumor it was because the owner's wife was a rodent lover and made a big stink about it. Not sure how true it is, and maybe it's just an image they're trying to portray while they try to expand their market. Who knows, maybe the frozen ones died of natural causes? :rolleyes:

Hehe the petco closest to me is a joke. I dont think I have a petsmart. I was in the petco yesterday because it is next to the best buy. I look at the reptile baby BP's 89.99, RTB 169.99, they had other corns and stuff too, baby normal leos most of them w/ only half a tail 44.99, and the worst of all baby I mean like 3 in veiled chams 189.99 that is about 6 times retail. And all of the snakes and animals not looking very good.
