You are not talking about a book, a candy bar, or a new TV. You are talking about a living, breathing animal that will depend on you 110% for EVERYTHING. It is totally the person who buys the animal who has the responsibility to see that it is properly cared for.

There is NO excuse to let an animal die because you REFUSE to learn. The animal didnt die in a day. There are vets out there. The FIRST thing anyone should do with a new pet is take it to a GOOD vet. If you can't afford a vet visit you cant afford the pet.

It is great when the "pet people" at the huge pet stores know a lot about the animals they are selling. However not only can most not remember what the person told them in that 3 min conversation they blow it off (usually to save money). I have NO symphany for impulse buyers who get ANY kind of animal! THEY and THEY ALONE agree to take and care for that animal.

For example a google search of ball pyhon care gave me 101000 in .12 seconds. You don't have to read all 101000 pages but even if you read for one or two hours and start seeing the same information you should be able to get a clue.

Steping down. Sorry but this is a hot topic for me. I have seen so many abused animals and hear "I didn't know" and say did you EVER call a vet? and 90% of the time the answer is NO. If they where sick they would RUN to a doctor
