Everybody above is correct, I would feel bad for the poor guy too.
BUT, I did that a few months ago, A friend of mine called me about some "mean Ball Pythons" the pet store had that the employees were scared of
These were small gals, 1 was 76g when I got her.... and they wanted to know if I wanted the "bite gloves" to handle them (really??)
I picked them up for $30.00 per snake
now I will have the 3rd vet visit next month, been through a regurge and a mite scare with these BP's. Are they doing better YES!
but it did it cost me a lot of energy, time, vet visits and money to get them there, and the Pet store will just get more and probably do it again.
