SnakeBabe, You go girl!
I once went to a pet store back home that "specialized" in reptiles.. I walked up to one tank labled "water snake" and there was some type of snake hanging out of the water bowl half decomposed. I mentioned to the owner it was dead (a common thing in this place). I stayed away for a week, and then had to come back to get crickets. I glanced in the tank.. the same dead decomposing snake was there. I told the owner AGAIN that there was a tank with a dead snake, and he just said "it just died this morning, I just havent had the chance to get it out"
Needless to say, he got chewed out, and I got kicked out by police.
The guy still has his pet shop, and specializes in venomous reptiles now.. I've got lots of stories about that forsaken place.. spitting cobras in aquariums with screen tops, etc. etc...
