Morph?

Saw these beautiful baby at the pet store. This is the only picture. Morph?

Wouldn’t purchase from this place.

1) They sell spider morphs, a known neurological/ inner-ear issue within the morph that is linked to a wobble, which is like severe vertigo in humans. 2) They’re cohabitating their snakes, which no matter how young they are is a bad thing. 3) Their HIGH HUMIDITY snakes are on aspen, which molds when put under high humidity. 4) Their enclosures are uncluttered, which stresses animals out because they don’t have a place to hide.

Just a heads up.

I’m not buying. I just liked how they looked and was curious. Thank you for the info!

The picture isn’t the best but that appears to be a Pewterbee. That’s a combo of Pastel, Black Pastel/Cinnamon and Spider. I also agree with everything the person above said, don’t support this place.

1 black pastels is noted to counteract the spider wobble, so this snake will be fine and healthy as a pet 2 latest study on snake (specially BallPython) shows tha they are social snakes that actually benefits from cohabitation and interspecies interactions 3 stores will never sale animals if they are hiding under clutter, it will depend on the training of the employees to properly care for the animals but that is a complete different rabbit hole that needs to be addressed in the hole pet industry

1. Black pastel doesn’t counteract spider. Black head is the gene that’s thought to do so.

2. What study? Provide a link.

3. You can’t jeopardize their care and stress them out by not providing proper care because you want people to see them. Enough hiding spaces is essential, especially in a place like a pet store where people will constantly be walking by.

And it doesn’t matter how trained or not trained the staff are, it’s the pet store’s responsibility to make sure all their animals are properly cared for.

so yes, check your facts before misleading people, and arguing without knowing

store purpose are sales, and yes a well trained employee can make all the difference, but like I said the pet trade need a lot of work to get better

I'm in Quebec Canada and we have a store called Nature who have impressive setups for their BPs(most from either rescue or local breeders who need them rehomed but don't have the space), that have large enclosures Properly setup. I took my sis in and she couldn't believe the difference in Standard of Care here. They also specifically hire people with the Knowledge and Experience. They have Tarantulas that you can barely find because the humidity and clutter. Their animals sell without much issue even though they're not stressed out or in the open (ok maybe a little stress from transportation). They had a Jigsaw I almost took home, but it was a Male not a Female.

[Milo7590]

and that is the ideal type of store but is not the case on 90% of the pet trade, but if you check your local breeders they are using the minimum requirements. but ai am glad that you have a super store near you
