LoL.

Yeah, the vet that I took Monty to, the only reptile doctor in Huntsville, works in a Petsmart. Thank God the guy actually sounded like he knew what he was talking about and had some previous experience because the rest of the ordeal was pretty sketchy. Apparently the girl working the front counter hadn't had anyone bring a snake in there in over four years. She was extremely excited. The nurse, while he didn't seem freaked out by Monty, would not touch him. The girl working the register was totally freaked out.

Personally, I think me, with about two whole weeks of experience caring for one, know more about ball pythons than everyone apart from the vet combined in that store. If we, as a community, might volunteer to help big stores like Petsmart, it might help. Just print off caresheets that they could hand to the customer when they want to buy a snake. That'd be a start if they'd be willing to take them.
