I just wanted to vent a little- I went to a local petstore- it is a national chain- and i was looking for corns. Normally they have only normals and amels, so i was thrilled when they showed me two BEAUTIFUL ghosts. Upon further inspection, though, i noticed that the tip of BOTH corn's tails had probably two sheds worth of old shed attached to about the bottom centimeter of it. I looked closer to see if it could be easily removed, but they both looked infected, and one was so bad that the tail looked like it was falling (Rotting?) off.
Normally this petstore is really clean and pretty good with care, so i was very flustered. I felt i should tell the manager since the kid that showed me the snakes didn't seem concerned. They had just gotten in the snakes the day before, so it probably wasn't the petstore's fault, but doesn't anyone inspect the animals?
so, i was curious what some of you senior members would find appropriate to do in this situation... i am worried the snakes might not receive proper care (if i had the resources myself, i would 'rescue' them, but unfortunately i don't).
thanks for hearing me out !

P.S. what could be done for these snakes?
