i dont really trust that many pet stores with anything. the store that i go to is "Zoo Creatures"...they have the store downstairs and breed the snakes and otehr various reptiles upstairs. they are awesome and all of the animals there are well fed and well taken care of. i went to petco last week and saw that they had a ball python and it was just so sad looking at it. it looked like it never got fed and just looked sick. i hate how all of the pet stores around here, minus Zoo Creatures, wont even take the snake out of the tank because they dont want to touch it unless youre going to pay the money to buy it. i think its really sad and i wish i could do something about it. i went to a petsmart and asked about a snake that they had and they knew nothing about it. if youre going to sell snakes, or any animals for that matter shouldnt you have some knowledge of what youre selling?? am i wrong here?? you cant just leave a snake, or any animal alone and never go near it or never feed it and expect it to be healthy and happy.

makes me really sad and angry
