Pet Store Surprise!
So I go to my local pet store yesterday to buy some feeders. They have a decent sized common boa there that I say hi to every time I go in. So I'm sitting there looking at the boa not even noticing what's above. I look up and a DIAMOND python is chilling in the tank above looking right at me!! I was shocked! Probably the only time I'll ever see a diamond in a pet store again! I asked one of the workers when they got him in and they told me a guy just dropped him off a couple weeks ago. Who would just "drop off" a diamond python to a local pet store?! Anyway, they had him listed for $299.00 which I thought was a complete STEAL (wish I had the money)!! It's a complete shame I couldn't buy him because this particular pet store takes pretty poor care of their reptiles. They had this diamond in a tank with repti-carpet and literally nothing else in there. No perch, no hide...nothing! Naturally, I had to take him out for some handling and got the misses to snap a pic. Here he is (sorry it's not the greatest pic)....

Re: Pet Store Surprise!
I think that's a DiamondxJungle, still really nice though and worth the money I think.

Re: Pet Store Surprise!
I wish the store wasn't so bad either. It's the only exotic pet store anywhere near me. I must admit though, it is better than the local Petsmart/Petco. But that's not hard.....
