Its the stores responcibility because when a child or anyone goes there they have to offer common sense safety.The same way a supermarket cant leave something spilled in the isle.

The owner of the snake is at fault to and he certainly can/should be sued but the petstore didnt provide comon sense safety .I am not a lawyer though I play one on TV heehee kidding but I learned this after the petstore I go to got sued after someone was bit by a Rottweiler in there since they allowed people to bring their dogs in.

They could ban all kids from going in there as you suggest but there would go half their bussiness and that snake could have bitten anyone.It was something that didnt have to ever happen if the petstore used common sense.I bet it doesnt happen again in there.
