Petsmart going to sell corns and kings...

If I remember right, Petco's is wrong too. I'll try and find it.
Here are the messed up quotes, from my opinion, from that link. Someone should email them.

Quote: Keep the humidity level at or above 30%. (Is this okay?)
Temperatures: Basking - use an under-tank heater, heat rock or spot light to create basking area of 90-95 degrees F (32-35 degrees C).
 
heh im not surprised, its always the same with these pet stores...
i was in a big one recently and they tried to tell me an anery was a ghost het lav... he looked exactly like my anery...

Yeah really. I remember when they wouldn't sell snakes as pets because those horrible creatures eat poor little mice! Then they started selling the "Arctic Mice". Now select stores will even sell snakes! Part of me is glad to see it, part of me is not.

I think that is one of my favorite parts. Did you know that corns and kings now have feathers? :nope:

Every 3-4 days is cool while they're on pinks. I guess if it had been my care sheet, I would have worded it that way. I like how they advise you not to constrict your snake while handling it. ;)
 
Our petsmart started carrying snakes a couple months ago. I went in and saw a cali king and a corn snake on display. But that was before they would sell the mice there, so I was confused. But I guess now they have the mice available for sale. Well, I am sure they will treat their herps better than Petco... how I hate that place.
 
"Solitary Although corn snakes can be housed communally, king snakes are snake eaters and must be housed singly. Snakes should always be fed singularly."


hmmm.. i think they should put that Corns have to be housed ALONE.. they would even make more money off it.. 1 snake per tank = SELLING MORE STUFF!

Nope I had seen that link before. Thats all. Maybe its your difficulty seeing sarcasm? Guess it doesnt matter. Im sure Jen C wasnt offended by it. Thats all that would matter I guess.

First of all, I screwed up. I meant to say Jen Thompson ("JTGoff69"), who is a manager at a PetSmart store - and while no offense to JenC, I think JT's response would have more validity in this thread.

Now, to the fun part.
