Now I know how we all feel about pet stores, and their reptiles, but if you ever saw a fantastic deal on a decent snake would you just grab it up?
I work at petsmart, and we recieved a pastel instead of normal by mistake. She's is a beauty too, not to mention she's huge for her age. Ive never seen one come in looking so good, and she knocked back 8 fuzzies(40Grams) her first feeding day.
Managers decided it wasnt worth sending her because of the stress alone, much less the fact that we wouldnt have a ball python for another week or two.
They also didnt want to price is as a "Fancy" (Pastel) Ball python because priced at $249.99(As opposed to the normal price of $79.99 for a normal @_@), no one just starting the hobby would drop that kind of money on a snake, and nobody that knows what pastels are worth would pay 250 for it. So now there is this beautiful Pastel with great breeding potential in a cramped little cage at petsmart being sold on sale as a normal for $49.99.
I think im gonna grab her tomorrow after work
Have you guys found any awesome breeders in pet stores? gotten great deals on them?
