Why would a pet store be selling an ADULT BP?(MN if you want to rescue it)

[zina10]

+1 for the BP's that prefer wearing hats instead of larger hides...



I've also got some pics of a large male BP that I used to have that preferred a smaller hide. I will never figure out how he managed to get himself in and out of it. The hide was 13" X 9" and the snake was 4'-7"...

LOL, we should make this a "welcome to the club" of...

That is to cute, glad mine isn't the only one with strange quirks

Now if you bred those two together..............Would the babies hide in hermit shells?????

Wow!!!!

Thanks for all the volatility. I seem to have a knack for creating it on here without really doing anything to warrant it. I was just trying TO HELP this snake that isn't even mine out! Thanks to the people being mean when I am just trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.

I haven't contacted anyone about this snake...YET. I am going to check on it again this week when we go shopping in the area.

btw...to all the people calling me a "her"....I am a "him".

Thank you to all the people who gave advice in this thread without being rude.

I don't believe anyone was critical of you per se. We made notice that what you descibed as bad, really wasn't that bad. At least by your description, it doesn't appear to be that bad.

However, the advice you were given by one of the members, was far too harsh and unneccessary. The ASPCA is probably one of the most hated animal organizations her and by most reptile keeprs.

Yeah with a 5 minute visit to their website, I was too angry to continue reading the close-minded and one sided article about why it's bad in all ways to keep exotic pets...

Long thread made short....dont put the cart before the horse. Talk to the store and find out what the dealio is and then maybe help them with their set up as they may not know so much!

PS......some of my BPs have no hides. They are getting so big if I put hides in their bins....they would have NO room.

OMG, that is to funny, LMAO !!!!

Tell you what....

We both live in St. Paul. The pet store in question is in St. Paul. I'm sure you have much more knowledge on BPs than I do. You want me to send you the address of the store in question so you can go check up on the snake?

btw...according to both google reviews the store has....they get their dogs from puppy mills. Obviously this store's reputation isn't very good.

PM's have been exchanged. It's a bit of a trip from my house but I'll try to check on it next week if I get the time.

Aspca is good for dogs and cats not for Reptiles. Petlands Does get there Dogs from puppy milles I know someone who use to work there. Well the one here in Baton Rouge does I have only gone there a few times but stop going there. We dont have mom and pop pet stores anymore most closed down. The petlands here will sell you sick animals the owner just dont care about them as long as he making $$$$. it is a sham that peolpe buy there dogs there. I hope yours Pet Land is not like mine.

I don't suppose any of you geniuses who have posted have ever OWNED a pet store? I don't suppose you understand that to sell a snake it has to be SEEN. I suppose that you don't understand that to be seen it must be in the OPEN. I further am not supposing that many of you have given any thought to just how many snakes go through that tank in the course of a year. I don't suppose much thought has gone into the fact that those snake will vary in size, but that the room available to house them is FIXED. The cage won't change size because a larger snake is in it.

And who the bloody hell has EVER heard of a petstore that quarantines? Not possible for most.

The OP may have had good intentions. Those and a bucket of cowpoop will please your roses. Not good for much else.

I've heard that walking is something good to have perfected PRIOR to running. May want to work on that walking thing, a bunch of you.

Is this google thing you refer to reliable or can anyone post anything because if it's the latter, we're right back to happy roses.
