I hope so It just upsets me to see newbies buying from pet stores. Heck, I got my first BP from Petco years back. I had walked in for fish, and this girl said that they had a "mean" snake that was attacking people and had been returned 2x, so they were adopting it out. I went home researched it, and adopted her.. leading to my now-obsession with BPs.
But I still see people that choose to buy from pet stores. They're buying snakes that have not been quarantined, or maybe aren't even feeding regularly yet; it is sad. It upsets me that people have to enter this hobby with snakes that are either ill before they're bought, or become ill, because pet stores do not know how to give people proper info when they buy
