Petsmart lies...
So I decided to call petsmart specifically to catch them in their lies. I have had a problem with my local petsmart saying that they can't sex their ball pythons because 'they are too young'. So after hearing them say that about four times I said that you can pretty much sex them from birth. As I expected, I was put on hold... they then took me off hold and said that they have a specialist who comes and does it. I said 'well a 'specialist' should know that you can sex a ball python at any age.' And as I guessed... I was put on hold again... after a few minutes a woman answered and said she was the reptile manager. She said that they don't have an on-site specialist. She said that they are too young to be sexed but they usually take their snakes to the vet to be sexed. I then politely said 'You can basically sex a ball python from birth. Why do you wait to take them to the vet?' And the lady hung up on me. I am definitely not going back to them... I could ask someone there what time they close and they would put me on hold so they could ask a manager... I had only one conversation with someone at Petco amd could instantly tell that they are obviously better educated about their animals. And I didn't find what I was looking for but the guy who works there recommended several local places to try..
