New Boa

WEll today I picked up a Common Boa for a local pet store. I wasn't really lookin for a boa but when I saw this little guy I felt so sorry for him. First off his cage was disgusting and they also had a Burm and a Ball in there with him, I bitched out the employees for thier $hitty care of these snakes then I took him home. He is doing well after a little soak to get ride of the smell of fecies plus he as been dewormed

. I'll post some pics when he settles in, ops forgot I named him Homer DOH!

Glad you rescued that Boa, Colonel. That is just sick that the pet store treated it like that!!

Has anyone ever told you that you kinda look like Al Snow?

That's good for rescuing the boa. That's what happened with my Ribbon. He was in a cage with five other snakes!

Thats why I can't stand pet stores most of them don't know $hit! Then I end up with lots of animals I didn't really want in the first place.

Unfortunately by "rescue buys", the stores are being further supported andmore animals will be brought in. Its sort of a lose-lose situation... if you buy the animal that particular animals is rescued, however it just supports the problem as a whole

The industry needs stores, and no stores are perfect, but the bad stores need to be seeded out somehow
