There's an old saying - "Never look a gift horse in the mouth".


You have an absolute stunner there. He's absolutely gorgeous. Lucky you - and lucky snake as he's now got a caring, knowledgeable owner

<----enters the albino
That's the craziest thing I've heard (a million times) and the cutest looking snake!
Oh, wait, hang on, since I'm an albino, have pink eyes and thus, am blind... let me go back up in the thread and feel that pic.... oh yes, very nice snake. :lol

If I had a dime for everyone who thinks that if it's albino it's blind....we'd ALL be rich!
While yes, albinos (no matter what species they are) are more prone to having poorer (is that a word?) eyesight than normally pigmented animals and people and yes, they are more inclined to be photophobic...doesn't make us/them blind.
But hey, free snakes, especially good looking ones is always cool!

That is quite possibly one of the craziest and coolest stories of random encounters that i've heard. kudos to you!

The things Petco employees will say...

Unfortunate that this particular employee was anywhere near the reptile dept. I can not defend the entire company but usually if a compitant employee is working near a department, or responds to a page, we try I repeat try to make sure that they are certified with the animals in that department. Sadly not all are and like everywhere you go you get people who think they can make something up(which petco frowns on) instead of telling the customer sorry I don't know, let me get my manager to better assist you. We tell our new hires to NEVER make something up, if you don't know ask a associate that does. On another note the associate should have offered the customers money back. This experience saddens me being someone who does the right thing, i have all four departments certifications and if i do not know a customers answer, I will A.find a Manager who does or try to find the answer in petcos many resources, this after saying to the customer "That is a good question, let me see if I can find the right answer. Please do not judge every employee by a few bad ones.
