<sarcasm> Well, It seems that I don't know a "well bred ribbon snake" when I see one </sarcasm> A new petco just opened in town this week and I went in to check out their reptiles. They had the usual smattering of boas, ball pythons and corn snakes, but what really caught my eye was a very pretty "ribbon snake" aka Striped Keelback. Had a chat with the assistant manager and the conversation was more or less "I know everything and you know nothing." Like these ribbon snakes aren't like the ribbons you see in Washington and theres only 15 species of garter snake. Can anybody spot whats wrong with both statements? I'd love to pick up the keelback, he or she seems in good health, active, attentive, constant tongue flicking, but I've heard too many horror stories about keelbacks from petco on here.
