Force Feeding Ball Python

[Chris72]

Don’t...buy / "adopt" the animal.........

First, the pest store has (very likely) screwed up things in so many regards that they created the issue with that animal. They likely screwed up the temps, humidity, diet, etc. (could have mites) Often they are under lights all day with no hide since its harder to sell what you can’t see so the animal is stressed constantly. Now they have nearly killed it so they are trying to sound like they care by calling for adoption? (B/S)

If you buy that animal...sorry...adopt, you are only encouraging the pet store management to replace it ASAP. As cold as it sounds....if management sees a track record of financial failure with Ball pythons they might one day want to stop stocking them or at least reduce the number they cycle per year.

Don’t do it....
