Went to Petco for some animal supplies and just happen to check in the snakes....

I'd be careful about contacting news or government about the issues... there are a lot of "animal rights" organizations out there that love to take stories like these and use them as fodder for trying to prove why the exotic pet market needs to end and none of us should be allowed to keep them as pets.

That's what they said about puppy mills and look at how many states now have laws against stores selling from them and yet dogs are not outlawed. No, we need to expose this to show a wrong doing without fear of it leading to the end of reptile ownership. There are many aspects of the exotic pet trade that do need to end (wild caught, wholesale farms, flippers, chains like petsmart and petco selling without basic care, etc). This industry has a dirty side that needs attention paid to it.
