I like looking at snakes, I don't really like petland and their business ethics though. I sometimes go just to look at snakes since there are no other local places to look. Today I go in and they have about a 3 1/2 ft Af rock in withabout a 2-3 ft ball python. When I mentioned to the store employee that it wasn't wise to house them together, explaining the reasons. Then I mentioned the harm in housing a hatchling ball with one at least 8 mo. old He went off about how he has bred snakes over 10 yrs. and had bred every variety the store was carrying. Did I mention there was burmese, rat snakes, corn snakes,af rock, ball pythons, just to name a few. He said there was no chance of cannibalism. He should know since he has bred them over 10 yrs. Did I also mention he was about 25 yrs. old. I'm not saying young people could not have been doing it that long, but give me a break. He kept carrying on like he was father time himself. I thought he was going to blow a fuse when I said, "You may breed snakes, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW SNAKES" I usually don't lose my cool, but I hate it when someone without a clue runs off at the mouth. I am not real knowledgable, but I will admit if I don't know something. Did I mention this is the Petland in Cherryvale Mall in Rockford Il.
