    Wink Balls Pythons at Wal-mart

    I went to find a couple of tubs at Walmart and as I was looking a young boy about 13 in camouflage picked up two Sterlite 25qt tubs with locking lids. I couldn't resist so I asked what his tubs were for and he said for a couple of new snakes he got.

    I told him I was there for the same things tubs for snakes and he pulled two snake bags out of his hoody and took out two really cute Ball Python Morphs. A beautiful Lemon Pastel, and a spider. It was awesome. We are taking over! Ball Pythons every where you go!

    A very bad idea if somebody who hates snakes reports this. Not good publicity. Just like when people take them to the mall, or any other public place.

    Oh my gosh that's insane! I agree with the only at Wal-Mart!

    As for the comment about it not being a smart idea, what do you expect when a parent lets some little boy in a store with snakes....Brilliant parenting, what's new.

    I agree, but it sounds to me like this boy just got his snakes. I don't think it's wise to take snakes to public places, but in this case I think there might have been extenuating circumstances. I don't know what the weather is like in Kentucky, but here it is very cold. If I had just bought some snakes and I was given the choice between leaving them in the car or hiding them in my pocket, I would hide them. I would like to hope he wouldn't have taken them out if they hadn't been talking about snakes.

    I'm not saying he's right, he should have had the materials he needed before he got the snakes (if it was theorized scenario above), but we shouldn't make judgment calls without all the facts.

    Yeah it was only 44 degrees here today and that was before the sun went down. I think he only had them in there to keep them warm until he got them home and settled. Plus there was no one else around when he took them out. the pole was blocking the aisle on one side and the three of us was blocking the view of the rest. I don't think he would have taken them out if were weren't both talking about them.

    lol, funny...


    But I will say my stomach churned reading this title before I knew what the thread was about, I know walmart sells fish and I know how horribly they care for them(especially their bettas, disgraceful.) so I was like, they BETTER not have decided to sell ball pythons in their 'pet' department!

    So thank goodness!
