You want be in this hobby long before pet stores are on your no-no list. I haven't stepped foot in a petstore for years...til last week. Looking for somewhere to kill some time last weekend and stumbled across a pet store about 3 hours from my home, it looked clean so we went in. One of my main reasons for not going is MITES, I still didn't touch anything. Hatchling, normal, ball pythons....$129.99!!! Baby boas....$179.99!!!! I watched a young girl buy a boa. I wanted so bad to hand her a business card! If you need anything for your snake start at Reptile Basics, Rich is very helpful and if he don't have what you want he will tell you where to go to get it.
Just remember, pet store....BAD...Reptile Basics....GOOD
