Another Petco/Petsmart bashing thread?
Yawn.
In defense of the manager, at least she wasn't stupid enough to buy one, too lazy to research on how to properly care for it, fail to provide proper husbandry for it and then post here on what to do when the animal gets sick.
Then after being given the proper advice, argue with the people trying to help her, refuse to take the animal to the vet and then report back on how heartbroken she was that it died.
Then rushes out and buy another and spams the forum with crappy pics.
Nope, she doesn't sound THAT stupid at all.
Just a store manager afraid to touch a couple of snakes. Excuse me if I don't jump in on the judgement party with you all.
See, I happen to know for a fact there are people on this forum who work at Petco and Petsmart. I'll wager they know more about snakes than most people who are stupid enough to typecast them. Shame on some of you for ASSuming that all petstore employees are cast from the same mold.
Now I know there are some people who post here who feel they are truly God's chosen few because they know just enough to be dangerous when it comes to reptiles. I know that because we routinely get treated to their judgement filled posts as they look down with a discrimination bordering on contempt for any one who they feel isn't as enlightened as them, whether it be the dog food store manager who doesn't want to touch a snake or a Craigslist poster who doesn't have his ball python mutancy terminology all worked out.
