Kyle, the real kicker (as I know you know) is that some of the biggest growing snakes are the cheapest and easiest to come by in the pet stores?

I like to drop in on alot of pet stores, wherever I am, and check things out.

Its all to frequent that I find, like I am sure we all have seen, some young kid with his eyes popping out of his head at the thought of owning a snake that will grow to 20 feet and can pounce-on and kill large prey.

Even worse are the pet store owners that will sell just about anyone a Burm or Retic. I have heard the shop owners tell people (young kid or terrified mother with glass-eyed teen son) that the snake will not grow any bigger than the cage its in...shameless and irresponsible.

I have told people straight up, in front of the store person that I breed snakes and this is NOT true, its really too bad..everyone loses.
