I had to tell a lady the other day that at 3 feet long, she had to feed her snake more than just two mice once a month. And she was saying she wanted to breed her snake!

Petco has caresheets for ball pythons all over the place because they're our most commonly sold snake.

I've had my girl for fourteen years, and it just sickens me to see/hear how horribly these snakes are cared for, when with proper care they can be so gorgeous.

My coworkers and I rant on the same way you do about people not researching animals before they buy them. Turtles and iguanas are abandoned at our store on a sadly regular basis.
