Wow, I actually said out loud "awwwww poor little thing"...and I am a twenty seven year old man. That is absolutely horrible, and extremely inhumane. I know I will probably get flamed for saying this but I can't help it. If it were me, I would not be able to resist trying to get that boa from them somehow, and If I had to buy it at full price I would. I just can't see an animal like that and push it in the back of my brain. It will just eat me up. I know it would be supporting a horrible pet store and they would just replace that one with another, but I personally couldn't let that snake be in their care anymore if I walked In and saw that. I would get the snake from them, and then tell them if I EVER see another snake or any animal for that matter, in that kind of condition I will report them and even go as far as the animal cruelty route...but hey, that's just me and my two cents.
