Stupid Stupid Petco Employee(pic)
Ok so me and the wife went to petco to get some frozen feeders today. Well a customer came in who had bought an albino kingsnake from them a couple days ago said it wouldn't stop biting. So as i'm ease dropping on the conversation the employee takes the snake from the guy and starts to look it over and then tells the guy that it's biting all the time cause it's blind. BLIND! Holy crap so I made my way over to see if I could give my two cents and asked the employee how she can tell its blind. So she starts waving her hand in front of the snake and she says "see the snake doesn't move and his eyes are pink" LOL oh my gosh! I told the customer that it was'nt blind and that baby kings are a bit nippy and even as adults. So he got a little upset cause petco did'nt tell him anything about this snake. At this point he's chewing out the employee and then hands me the snake and tells me I could have it. I really was'nt expecting this nor did I need another snake. I tried to explain to him that you need to give it time to adjust to its new enviroment and proper handling will calm him down. But he still decided he did'nt want it and told me that I probably could give it a better home. So I took him and brought him home and now I'm trying to piece a quick rubbermaid together. I'm still in aww over what happened. Here's a pic of the snake.

Re: Stupid Stupid Petco Employee(pic)
Insanity! I remember a guy at a pet store years ago, telling me that all albino animals are blind (I was buying an albino clawed frog.) Years later, I have an albino Oscar cichlid, and my mom comes over and says "oh, that fish is blind, right?" She remembered that pet store persons's incorrect words from years ago, and I informed her that nope, albinos are not blind. So I wonder where the albinos-are-blind thing came from?

I still can't get over the "he's blind cause he has pink eyes". LOL just makes me laugh.

Re: Stupid Stupid Petco Employee(pic)
Probaly from people thinking that albinos can't stand bright light and have sensitive eyes. Think sunburn on albino.
That's a sweet sweet snake you got there. Congrats.
