Poor Poor Python....

[sum182]

So, there has been this 3-4ft ball python at my local pet store for a very long time now.....and i'm getting a soft heart for him and am pretty sure i am buying him tomorrow if they let me....heres the story...

So about 4-5 weeks ago i went to my pet store (its a burtons total pet) and i see this snake...He/she is in a take filled with shed skin, the snake is shedding itself (badly), a HUGE half log hide, a water dish on the other side, and a uth in the tank. Now, being a pet store, theyre charging top price at $100 for him. I look...stare at him for a while...and go on my way. I go in a week later and hes still there. Still the same, shed skin everywhere and still old skin on the snake...I ask about him and they say the snake person isnt here to come back tomorrow. I didnt really have time to so i went back around the next week and held him...VERY VERY tame snake dispite his conditions and whatnot. I was contemplating buying him so i came back the next day and he wasnt for sale anymore, they said someone bought him. So i thought "YAY" the snake will finally have a home with a real tank.....SO, i just go in today and the snake is back....skin still on him...tank still the same...i ask why and they said he was returned the next day by the people cause they said they "couldnt afford it". I sat there and stared at this poor snake in his horrible husbandry and just felt my heart drop....so I made the decision that i'm buying him and giving him what he deserves, i cant stand to see him there anymore. So i told the guy if the snake is for sale ill buy him. He said as for now he isnt but the snake person will be in at 11am tomorrow and he will shed some light and if there is any "problems" with it. Then we can see it you can buy it....

I will get that snake tomorrow. I dont care if they think it has "problems".
