well, my day kinda sucked. i woke up, and my heat lamp lightbulb burnt out, luckily just as i woke up. so me, my mom, and my girlfriend go to a petstore to get one. well we get there, and i do my usual, and get what i need then go check out the snakes. they had 2 ball pythons, 2 corn snakes, a green anaconda, and a red tail boa. the BPs had no hide. none of them did, except the green anaconda, but it was to small. the corn snakes housing was full of old sheds, which were not in one piece. all the cages were those reptariums, so they dont hold humidity or heat well. so i asked to hold the snakes. i held the green anaconda first. it was really docile, really friendly. then i held the red tail boa. it was the same. last i held the baby BPs. all seemed healthy. well, while im doing this, my girlfriend and my mom, who both like rats, were buying some rats. so we go out to my truck and im trying to organize it to make room, cause it was really dirty. while im doing this my mom and my girlfriend are looking at these rats. i here my mom scream, and when i get out of the truck i asked what was wrong. my mom said the rat bit here and they closed the box with the rat. my moms finger was bleeding, pretty bad. so i take the box, and open it, and this rat looks like a sewer rat! its huge! so i tell my mom to put pressure on the bite and i go back into the store to return it. my girlfriend went in with the rat ahead of me, and was already talking to the guy. i walked in and just went nuts. i told him that he was stupid for selling someone a rat that size when he knew it was for a pet, and i told him what happened. i told him to tell the next person that buys that rat that its dangerous. then i tell the guy about how poor the stores caring for the snakes were. i forgot to mention there was dryed feces in the cages! this store made a really bad impression on me. there stuff was over priced, they didnt take god enough care of there snakes, and all other reptiles, they sold dangerous animals. the guy didnt even warn us about the rat. well, i came home, and thawed a rat for rex. put it in his cage, he snapped a couple times, but he didnt eat. he hasnt ate for 13days now. handling with him is going good tho. hope fully hes ok. i noticed though that the rat pups look a little small for him. hes around 18-20in long. i dont really want to try feeding more then one at a time though. sorry, just had to share my horrible day with you all. im still mad cause of that petshop.
