He was a former pet sold off to this pet shop (walk in, "Hey, you wanna buy my snake? I'm bored of him." "Sure!") that I heard about through my local grapevine. This is the same place that the two deathly ill corn snakes (one now deceased) were given to me. So when I say I "rescued" him... I really did, he would have been dead in a month. Thanks for sucking the joy out of the moment anyway.
Just being honest, me personally would not support the store selling "deathly ill" of anything.
