Today I was about 100 miles from home checking on a new job. I asked at the end of the interview if there were any pet stores locally. I went into the store they told me about and I see multiple snakes in crappy conditions and want to take them all home to give them better lives. One of the main ones was a 2500g (guessing weight) female ball, in poor shed, no thermometers, humidity gauges in the tank, shed peices allover the place, on sand as a substrate, poop allover, and a water dish that I couldn't fit my big toe in. I asked about where she had come from, she had come from one of our troops that was recently shipped to Iraq and was given to the store. I asked about the temps and humidity and the answer was "we just see how they act". Asked about RI's and was told there was no such thing in snakes only GI infections. They wanted $60 for her and it looks like I'm going to do it. I recently got two other rescue adults that are back up to health. I feel like I'm going around rescuing BP's instead of buying the ones that I would like to have. I know I can't rescue them all but I get frustrated when I see stuff like that. There were also two beautiful retic's there, one I couldn't see very well and the other was 15-17ft. Again cage full of poop, one little heat light, sand substrate, didn't see any water, pieces of old shed allover. I know if I had the facilities to house a snake of that size I would. Just wanted to share some frustration and get this off my back. Thanks for reading!
