Being fair about PetSmart (and buying your ball python from them)

[predatorkeeper87]

I will ALWAYS have the animals best interests in mind, its the whole point of caring for a companion...And yea, i am smashing out the issues i ran into last time. The tank is still set up, i cleaned it out and reset everything but the aspen. Nothings on yet, because i have no idea when we will be able to get her back, but a few days before we do, or before my bf finds another snake, ill have the tank going and stable. I will also have the vets checked out by tomorrow, if neither of the 2 directly in my city seem to know half of what you guys do then i will look into the ones just outside it. I will not go into this unprepared again, it was one of the worst things, to feel like i put her in danger by moving too fast. I also do not like the idea of her sitting in that store where they starved her, and how she got burned id love to know.

We were all new once, don't be too hard on yourself. Its a learning experience that you take away from.

Just talk to the vets, make sure they aren't recommending goofy stuff for BP's like a UVB light. Ask them what they recommend for a proper setup for a ball python and see what they say. If it feels off, find a new vet and don't chance it.
