Why I won't buy from a pet store

[BrandiR]

Well, if people think of animals as tomatos and let the less appealing rot in a pet store I consider that neglect. I dont care what you say its cruel. People preach about adopting dogs that have been neglected or have special issues. Everyone nowadays are adopting shelter dogs. So why can't i adopt this snake if they offer it to me? I am not demanding it and I am not trying to save every snake ethier. So when I adopted my baby pitbull from a shelter is that bad because I was trying to save them all? I encountered a lot of sick snakes at pet stores but this one is just in horrible condition.. I just want peoples opinions on how to go about caring for it not a debate about babys vs snakes.

I'm not saying you shouldn't adopt it and try to rehabilitate it if you can. In fact, I think that's a pretty awesome thing to do. I was replying to what other people said, not trying to discourage you from doing what you think is right.
