now ive talked to other places since (petco, friends) and they say it is ILLEGAL to resell a pet that was GIVEN to a pet store, and that they have to find a home for the snake for free. is this true? cause i would LOVE to take care of this guy, but i cant afford him for $100 right now.

any of you guys know for sure before i go up there?
Nope not illegal at all.If its a privately ownrd pet store they can do whatever they want with reptiles given up by the owners.The people at Petco do not know what they are talking about.
