I got a Columbian Redtail boa from them and she has mites right now.
I have heard from other people that they do not take care of their snakes very well at all and almost all of them do have mites, and truuuuust me you dont want mites because they are very hard to get rid of!
Good luck,

A few years ago I had a friend who lived in CA who had visited the store. She was thinking about getting a lizard but was not very familiar with proper husbandry yet, and even as a newbie she said the care the animals were receiving was not up to par. If I remember right, there were many empty water bowls and dirty cages, and animals that looked thin and unhealthy. As I said, this was a few years ago, and it's possible things have changed, but personally I skip over all their ads.

That is just one thread I picked randomly. I have not read it. But run a search for them on Fauna to find more.

In the future, that site is a great place to do background research on other's experiences with dealers and breeders. Just a little too much drama sometimes.

This thread seems dead, but I visited PP last year when I was on vacation, their store is more of a zoo than anything else and most of the snakes did not seem to be in top shape. i.e. retained sheds, dirty enclosures etc... my $.02

this is a thread that i started not to long ago, i think that they have drastically improved since most of those other posts about them. i live 20 min from the store, and am there about once a week for one reason or another.
Forgot to add, both of my corns are from there and they are mite free and very healthy eaters on f/t the day they got home.

Wow I just took a look and they seemed to be really pricy, not to mention they reminded me of my local Les Schwabs (the store I mean) I dont think I would order from there.
