Doesn't do "casual"
You'll have to ignore Karl's abruptness lol. He, like many of us, is just a little fed up with how trusting the general public is of pet shop employees with minimal training, and "The pet store told me X," puts him on the immediate defensive. I work at a major chain pet store, and many people seem to think I'm some sort of vet, or at least have equivalent schooling. So we get a lot of arguments when we tell people that the person at Petco or Pets at Home probably doesn't know what they're talking about.
I was in one of the pet shop chains looking for water bowls, and stopped to admire an adult male hypo they had in a 40 gallon tank. A young man was asking if the snake was tame. The clerk, who looked to be about 18 years old said it was a corn snake and corns never bite. I spoke up and said they usually don't bite, but can mistake your fingers for a prey item. The clerk just laughed and said I was wrong, and reached in to pick up the corn, which immediately latched onto her hand. She screamed and pulled both her hand, and the corn, out of the tank. The corn let go of her hand and I grabbed him and put him back in the tank. Her hand was bleeding, the prospective buyer beat a hasty retreat, and I left without buying my bowls.
