I know he is your friend and all dude, and I am not trying to be mean but. He works at petco. where the pets blow. and to be honest, they have a terrible rep. I have seen animals in there that are bleeding and missing eyes. and I am not kidding. I saw a corn snake laying upside down with hemipenes out in its cage dead with a with a rotten fuzzy mouse that was WAY TOO BIG for it, in its mouth half way eaten, it looked like it had been there for like 10 days rotting away... and I am not joking. I saw a garter snake that was so hungry that it was eating its own tail NO JOKE! I am sorry but I would not take any advise from anyone at petco.sorry.
