The petsmarts close to me are quite serious about their snake care, luckily. But if I ever got the urge to buy a snake from a pet store I'd be off to Big Al's. They take fantastic care. But there are some smaller chains that are finally phasing out snakes because no one will purchase their pathetic stock of sickly looking animals. I feel horrible for the little guys but I can't condone them making money off them. One place has them priced at a steal and they're still not selling, I hope to go in and ask to take them off their hands for free and do a bit of finger wagging myself.
