I stopped at a small pet store today. I have normally been pretty impressed with their store, they have a great selection of stuff, specially fish. When I looked at the ball python, they had a larger one, and a smaller one in the same tank. I asked one of the employees about the larger one and she said someone had dropped it off because they couldn't care for it. Well, it looks like the pet store cant care for it either. There were no hides and it had stuck shed all over it. It was about 90 degrees in the tank with no escape to a cold side. It had also been going through shed with stuck pieces all over it . I looked at the price and it was $200. I asked the employee if they would take any less and she said: "No, we can't afford to take any less." I was like Someone gave them the snake yesterday and they haven't even fed it, which by the way the person who dropped it off said it had been off feed for a while. I just wish they would take a lot less for it, since it was free, they dont have any money in it....It just makes me so mad its not being taken care of properly. Oh, they also had a baby albino bp, and wanted $900 for it...I lost a little respect for them then.
