ugh i hope the poor thing is okay, i really should have said something; i regret not saying anything.

i just dont understand how a pet store could have such terrible care for one of their animals. its completely ridiculous.
It's terrible it happened, but it was an accident. Calling for someones head isn't the answer. You dont have any background on this person, how they feel about snakes, or if they had a choice or not in the matter of handling the snake. and I highly doubt they really meant to hurt the animal.

Take a deep breath, it was an accident.
