So john and i went around the pet shops today, ones that are ust based for reptiles. I like to do the rounds ;D and well first off was a very bad experience :( Waterworlds in aberdeen are terrible. we've been a few times as i like to see the selection and time before last the guy who was trying to sell an anery as a charcoal had no idea when it last fed, or shed, or had any record of the induvidual which reall put me off and today they had chameleons in really small and not very arboreal vivs :( To top it off they had atleast 6-8 baby ball pythons in one small viv and one was dead! right at the very front next to the glass window. I told the guy (same one who dealt with the anery) and he was all ITS FINE!No its alive. so i told someone else (manager) who removed it, apologised and gave the guy a right speaking to. When they removed the snake it seriously stunk! poor guy :'(
Anywho, we left and went to another shop. Where John fell in love with a beautiful little critter. I say little, he is fully grown and maaasive tbh :L He's a mongrel to which makes me love him more. He is a hybrid corn x rat snake that shows more rat colours to corn :) He looks like flowing lava and molten rock! Beaut. Very active and sociable, Loves his water bowl. Has already taken a few drinks in front of us :o (video up soon). So docile, handles lovely and has very strong muscles :)
So guys... Meet...
Lazarus!

He's a beauty and I love the lava effect, looks like he's hot to touch, very unusual. That other shop needs reporting, wonder if they even have a pet shop license! |

Absolutely lovely snake; congrats! I love mongrels and don't really understand why some people get so defensive about whether or not a certain morph has hypbrid oigins - I think so long as pople are open about what they're selling it really doesn't matter! :) |

MJ - I dont know why some people dont like the mixed breed thing. As far as im concerned it has no ill effect on the snakes. Even my Mo is an amel corn x great plains rat and she is so docile and sweet she is basically floppy :L
Lee - I have a friend that works there, im going to speak to her first and if nothing changes, i am going to report it.
Figs - i believe Lazarus means rebirth? :s John picked the name :L
smartbunny - thank you ^^ |
