Pet Store Pythons - need to vent

[Skiploder]

I don't buy from pet stores just because I really hate the way that ball pythons are imported. I don't want to support it. While I agree that imports have given us some amazing genes to work with, one of the reasons I breed is to help reduce the need to take these animals from the wild.

That being said, today I was at Petco, and their baby balls were going through a bad shed. I think humidity is a foreign concept to most pet store employees. The Petco I went to back in Utah even had the humidity gauge upside down.

Based on the number of bad shed posts around here, I'd go as far to say that it's also a foreign concept to many forum members.
