Jimi has amazing snakes and my favorite boa is the one I purchased from him. No kidding. She is an amazing example of what a boa ought to be.
I understand that you LOVE Jimi, so do I. Hes a great guy, and I can actually call him a friend, not just "a guy I get snakes from". With that being said, I think its a little harsh to say, DONT SUPPORT PET STORES, THEY DONT STRIVE TO PROVIDE HEALTHY ANIMALS.

I know several pet stores that are extremely taken care of with exceptional service, and care for the animals.

YES these places are not petco/petsmart. But to say that kind of things, I think is a little blatant.

Of course I would push you to buy from Jimi as well, but If this is a pet store that you trust and know, dont let people talk you out of it.
