Yesterday I went into Petco for betta food. They had three baby ball pythons, and one looked awful. It was very thin, and the skin on its sides sagged down to form a line. It had pieces of stuck shed stuck to it. It had dull looking hazy eyes like was either going into shed or had stuck eye caps, I don't have enough experience to tell which, or maybe both. Its head looked big compared to its skinny body. It took a lot of will power (and knowing I don't have an extra cage) to leave it behind. I know they'll only replace it if it sells before it dies. And no, I'm not going back there for it. But I can't help feeling bad about the situation.
