    There's an old saying - "Never look a gift horse in the mouth".


    You have an absolute stunner there. He's absolutely gorgeous. Lucky you - and lucky snake as he's now got a caring, knowledgeable owner

    <----enters the albino
    That's the craziest thing I've heard (a million times) and the cutest looking snake!
    Oh, wait, hang on, since I'm an albino, have pink eyes and thus, am blind... let me go back up in the thread and feel that pic.... oh yes, very nice snake. :lol

    If I had a dime for everyone who thinks that if it's albino it's blind....we'd ALL be rich!
    While yes, albinos (no matter what species they are) are more prone to having poorer (is that a word?) eyesight than normally pigmented animals and people and yes, they are more inclined to be photophobic...doesn't make us/them blind.
    But hey, free snakes, especially good looking ones is always cool!

This experience saddens me being someone who does the right thing, i have all four departments certifications and if i do not know a customers answer, I will A.find a Manager who does or try to find the answer in petcos many resources, this after saying to the customer "That is a good question, let me see if I can find the right answer. Please do not judge every employee by a few bad ones.
