From 11 - 16....

then when I was married (now dissolved)I worked full time for Costco and part time nights in a pet store. I will assume Al was not the "typical" pet store employee even at 16. But I assure Al that Dave is just being a ball buster as he usually is.

I definitely was not the typical pet store employee. I know a little about proper husbandry and Herptiles in general.

I once had a girl in charge of the reptile department at a local pet store refuse to sell me a green tree frog as snake food, luckily the owner of the store was much more receptive to my request. ( honestly she should transfer to the fish department, wait, fish eat other animals too, besides those pesky flakes )Darn eastern hog nose snakes. lol

If you can not stomach feeding or selling the natural prey items that some snakes require as a part of their husbandry, please go get a "guppy" and get out of my face. This goes double for anyone insisting I switch an eastern hog from amphibian prey to rodent prey. if that is what they where meant to eat, that would be exactly what they would eat. Yeah I understand the possible parasite burdens amphibian prey animals carry. I also understand that un natural food sources can adversely effect a snakes health. GET A GUPPY !!!!!!
