Please do not buy the snake. Petco is known to have animals who carry bugs and major illiness that can and do kill whole collections of snake and other reptiles. It already has a problem LET Petco take care of it. Please DO NOT "rescue" this one because in the long run they will only get a SALE out of you but they will also go a head and throw another poor boa in that snakes place the next day. PLEASE buy a boa from a well known breeder and NOT a petstore!
