A local pet store usually has a whole BUNCH of young hypos readily available. They are definitely good-looking snakes, but I'm not a huge fan of how the store keeps their reptiles; in fact, I applied to be a reptile specialist for them so I could reorganize their collection, as right now they have BPs in with Red Tails and tanks just stacked in among traditional display walls. (No response from that, by the way.) So I'm sort of at a moral impasse-- do I buy from them and pull a pretty snake or two out of rough conditions, or not patronize their location at all and get direct from a breeder? I know most would go with the breeder with no questions asked, but I have a bleeding heart for needy animals :/
