It sucks that sometimes you just have to bite your tongue. At the local store where I got my boa, I felt comfortable buying from them because they only sold from their single breeding pair, but their, ahem, "knowledge" was... well it's most of the things that turn out to be myths. I had to pretty much nod my head through all the bull crap just so I could purchase the snake. I wanted to unload but it wasn't worth it.
