Last week I went to Petco to pick up some new hides and I took a peek at the bp they had. To put it mildly, I was disgusted!

I was wondering what a hatchling looks like. This little bp was pretty small in the girth but had a big head. It's head looked like it was twice as big compared to the body. Even worse, there was a fold, a deep fold along the poor things side that went from head to tail. It looked so sickly!! I wanted to say something but I wanted to learn more about hatchlings first incase something like this is normal. And, I was afraid of loosing my temper which wouldn't be a surprise.

Can somebody post some pics of hatchlings or really young bps? I'm assuming it was a hatchling because of how small it was but it may not have been.

I will be going back in a few days for some aspen and if it is still there and if it is indeed in trouble, I'll be sure to say something. I would have asked sooner but I totally forgot about it until my son mentioned that we needed some more substrate. Unfortunately I don't have much of a choice where to shop. I would go somewhere else but the other petshop in our area is super nasty! The other pets in Petco look to be ok, it's just this one little bp that I'm concerned about.

Thanks a bunch!
