I'm not trying to advocate for or against petsmart/petco. Notice I was the first post on this thread to suggest a breeder instead. I agree that there shouldn't be widespread support for these big box stores having reptiles for sale. i support and appreciate the activism, but let's be honest, whether the OP buys this snake or not will not have any affect on the chain.
I personally know of plenty of breeders whose animals are in awful condition.
And yes I am very unhappy with the breeder I mentioned earlier. I was 100% misled as to the temperament of the animal.
