DH and I overheard an employee at a chain store tell a customer that BPs are the only snakes they sell, because every other species is mean, WILL bite, and make poor pets. When the customer said, "What about cornsnakes?", the employee claimed that they are some of the worst biters. This employee was, nevertheless, extremely nervous about taking the little BP out.

My DH wanted to look at a baby RTB at Petco one time, but the sales kid was too afraid to take it out, so DH had to get it out himself. Poor animals, I can't imagine they get great care if the employees won't even put their hands in the cages.
