Glad I'm not the only one! Really makes you wonder, though, do they plan anything out? Do some research so they have half a clue, or just toss 2 snakes together?
The shop owner is always complaining how his snakes never give him good sized clutches and they throw a lot of slugs...I'm sure he's cheaping out on the snakes' care, not taking care to make sure they're getting what they need to be healthy and stay that way. (He had a burm do a full slug out earlier this month - 54 sad little, nonviable eggs.)
The Butter I mentioned came in to get weighed - I don't know why someone can't afford a 20$ scale at Wal-Mart cares what their snake weighs - and came in at 1070. Snake's owner asked when she'd be ready to breed...and the shop owner said she was ready now. I'm sure a more experienced breeder that knew the snake and knew the snake was old enough to handle it could go ahead and pair her if they felt she was ready, but if you're having to ask then not only is she not ready, but you probably aren't either. I about had an aneurysm. My s.o. just gave me this look like 'No, don't do it', and he followed the dude out to the parking lot to impart better information.
I seriously should stop going to that shop. I always find something that gets my blood boiling. The sad thing is, I used to think it was a good place, until I started doing my own research and learning good practices from places like this forum.
