Rescuing a ball python from a chain store?

[StillBP]

To be fair, there are plenty of crummy breeders out there, just like there are plenty of quality animals that can be found in chain stores. Due diligence on behalf of the buyer is a must regardless of where a potential purchase comes from.

here i must agree what i meant to say was you can usaly find a better animal from a reputable breeder than at a box store
