This really bothered me...(Ignorant pet shops)

Earlier this week when I went to my pet store a guy was trying to sell a ball python his son had left him with for months. I ended up taking it from him and wouldn't you know, the next day the kid starts calling me saying he wants his snake back. The poor thing was so dehydrated its eyecaps were dried and crystallized and it looked lumpy and had shed hanging off it all over the place. I told the kid I wanted to take care of it and just leave it with me and he said he had to have it back (where was he for 4 months while his snake wasted away?). We refused to give it back and he called the cops and I had to give it back. I was soo pissed off because the poor thing was obviously neglected and underfed and I'm so afraid it will just be neglected again. This was Tuesday and I'm still furious!!!!
