I know, I try to avoid buying from Petco unless absolutely necessary. I tend to purchase from LLL, or one of the the two local pet shops. One of whom actually takes great care of their reptiles and takes in quite a few rescues to rehome and spend a lot of money on vet bills so I try to support them as much as possible. They do sell puppies however they get them from local pet breeders (which I prefer, although I'd rather have shelters but not my choice) and they actually are more than willing to educate people on Puppy Mills. So, anyways, I try to avoid Petco. He was a beauty though, so I feel bad for whoever gets him as he has a stuck shed, and his sides look kind of sunk in. Personally, spiders aren't my first choice for morphs I want. I love them, but I'd rather have a Pied or a Mahogany. I'll never be able to afford a Mahogany, but I want one quite a lot! I may still pick up a Pied Male come November.

I know I have to wait to hold Mandy since it's whats best for her, but it's hard, she's just so pretty. I've wanted a ball even before corns, but then I came across my male who was a rescue from a local pet shop. He was in a small tank with about 15 others and one was bitten in almost half it looked like and they said it was fine. So, i scrounged up money to purchase him and I now don't go near that pet shop.

I wish my local store did the $1/gallon sale, it would save me quite a bit of money. Oh well, my snakes are all happy and healthy for now.
