Ended up with 2 "mean" ball pythons

[Gocntry]

I will be honest here, it's not gonna be popular but I am not known for trying to be.

What this store was dealing with were stressed/hungry BP that were this way because of their poor husbandry and sadly you just thought this pet store that even if they do not properly care for their animals there will always be someone that will feel sorry and buy their animals. Now they have space for more and in no time 2 new animals will replace those ones.

What should have been done here was educate those owners on proper husbandry and feeding.

Please be Honest.... I won't get butt-hurt, I understand the welfare of my animals overrides my feelings.

Store is a franchised big box, no clue who the owner would even be, and I'm sure the employees just "follow" company policy,

I also understand as soon as the register "rang up" those 2 snakes it probably auto ordered 2 more, endless cycle, I know.

I just felt that being the employees considered them mean, they were not going to find a home and would end up with short lives ending

in the cage at the pet store, so I took them home, not rational, and went against all advice I've read about on this forum, but I allowed it to happen.
