What would you do?
Heres the scenario:
Your at the pet shop getting some feeder mice and a older guy walks in with a plastic container, shaped so it has some fake plants, a few ponds, and a little pull, and on the side it says "Planet Frog" as shown here:

You also notice in the container there is a little frog. You take note the water is gross looking, prolly hasnt been changed in forever, the lid is being held on by tape, and the some parts of the wall looked like haven't been wiped down since he bought the thing. So being the nice person you are, which I am and I did, you let him go first so he can set the item on the counter. He talks to the guy behind the counter, which knows a great deal about snakes ie how to pop and probe etc etc. So the cust ask if the store does by backs as they purchased that setup from that store, if I was the guy behind the counter I would of said no way cause that cage looked gross, and he said. The cust explained his son is wanting a snake so he would like to see what they had to offer. So the guy behind the counter said to look around and he will be back there shortly to help him out.
(Heres where I got on edge)
So the cust goes back there looking for snakes and one of the other employees come back asking if they have any Garder (sp?) snakes. so the guy says no, they dont have any. so the kid goes back to the cust and comes back saying the guy really wants an garder snake, the dude says oh well they dont have any...but to show him the new baby ballpythons they just got in and see if he would like one of those since they are cheap and easy to care for.....
This dude is gonna sell a baby bp, which I just bought one of those myself, to some guy that cant even clean out a plastic frog container! This dude doesnt have a clue about snakes, and the store wants to see him a BABY BP cause they are cheap and easy to take care of!! First off, BP's are easy snakes, we can all agree on that, when compared to others. Baby bp's, not even close to easy. This is my first baby bp, and she is a toughy to figure out, but at least I have an idea what im doing and i have the patience for her. This guy is getting a snake cause his son doesnt want the frog ne more, he now wants a snake, wtf is gonna happen when the son doesnt want a snake any more, toss it in the woods?! So i buy my feeder mice and left and was thinking about it, should I have said something? Should I have gone back there and told him baby bp's can be really tough to take care of and require more work then adult bp's that are at least eating normally? Should I have gone back there and actually tried to not let them make the sale? So this guy prolly bought a BP, has a crappy cage for it, prolly one hide, little or too much heat, and the poor thing is a baby!!
So, I ask, what would you all do?
