My store is trying....

[pitbulls4me]

I will contact some of the bigger ball python breeders and see if they would be willing to talk to her or if she can pass on the info to someone higher up. Because our store is fairly new we do not get a big spending amount to spend on the care of the animals so our store use items are limited. I was told that she could not bulk order anything but pinkies.. I am not sure if this is true or she is feeding me a line. I thought about purchasing bigger prey items for the snake but they feed it every four days and thats a lot of money for me to be spending on my $8 an hour salary (when I drive 45 minutes to work one way in an SUV). Believe me I have been looking for another job for a while... but I wish there was more that could be done to get the bigger chains to take better care of the snakes.

Thank you all for your advice... I will keep you updated on how thing go.

All the animals except the reptiles are really well taken care of. Our manager does not like the reptiles and it shows. The parrot we just got in has a stand that was hand made by her to go in the enclosure. The small animals get taken to the vet as soon as they sniff wrong. Its crazy an unfair. Its not only the ball pythons that arent cared for properly its the geckos, the the snakes, the bearded dragons... and so on.

I will catch her today and tell her to order fuzzies. Could the corn snake eat a fuzzie? Or is that too big? I will try to get weights on both of the snakes today.

ask her how she expects to profit in that department by selling sickly looking animals?

and if she says she don't care tell her that the person above her may care.
