this isnt about ball pythons realy.just sharin a story.

yesterday i went to great valley serpentarium.and i looked at all their exibits and then one of the people who worked their walked in. i inquired about a boa they had.he told me a price.and he asked me if i had had a boa befor and i said yes but it went off feed off and on and i dont have it anymore.and then i had also told him she was 5 and 1/2 feet and i had her in a 4 foot tank.he then starts yelling at me that i killed my boa that i am irisponcible that i stressed it and thats why its dead .but i had never said it died the pet store she was tooken to told me they forcefed her then she started eating again.then he went over and took the boa out he snached it out of its cage like it was a rag doll.im suprised the damn thing didnt bite him.he then gave it to me to hold.he then started telling me i needed a 9 foot cage for my boa when it is full grown. i dont know i may be wrong but that doesent make to much sence because i dont think any of theirs were even the ones in their exibits. then i hand him the snake back and he puts it in the cage and slams the door almost hitting the boa in the nose! this desturbed me so much i just left.sry this post is long just wanted to blow a little steam off about this guy.

with all due respect
