Just remember too Dan that when you take your snake out to the pet store you are exposing it to wildly flucuating temps, stress from the trip and whatever germs, mites, etc. that are in the pet store or on the employees there that handle your snake mostly likely without washing their hands first. Personally a public pet store is about the last place any of our snakes would ever go not only for these reasons but also because they are generally the worst place to get good husbandry information anyways.
