So I had to buy some food from our local pet shop today and I have seen this little boy in a tank evert time I've been there and he just breaks my heart. He is a Banana Pinstripe (and they claim 100% het pied though I'm not sure I believe that considering they dont have any proof). They're asking 400 dollars for him.
I can afford him and I have a seperate home he can stay in to be quarantined from my other reptiles for as long as I need to, but I'm not sure if he has been eating and 400 dollars for a potentially sick/stressed animal.
As you can see by his enclosure, he isnt getting proper care, and I've seen him there for at least 2 months. Do you think he is worth the risk? I'd love to add him to my collection but I'm on the fence. They'll take 80 dollars down and I could pay the rest in 3 weeks. Idk. I think I might be able to get a better deal online.
I feel like if he is actually het pied that's a good price.
What would you do? I won't make a choice today, but I'd like some other input.
