Sick Borneo Blood
Went to a local Big Box petstore for some substrate and other supplies. Normally, they have little in the way of snakes I'd look at. Mostly I would check them out just to see that they were healthy.
Saw a Borneo and stopped. Gorgeous.
The guy working there didn't know much about them. I asked to handle it and I saw right away that it jut wasn't "right". Behavior, attitude, looks.
You know, all the health and welfare checks you do when you inspect and handle your animals. I told the guy it was sick or something that that they had to have a vet check him out.
Went back today to check on him. Good News. The Asst. Manager had sent the baby blood to their vet.
No hygrometer. Sparse substrate. Inappropriate hide. Bright lights and no privacy. Poor guy.
I'll only go to a specialist herp store for any livestock.
