Me and my husband bought 2 childrens pythons today. We went to the breeders house and he took us to show off his extensive collection. as we were looking, he started to clean turds out of an enclosure 1 foot away from my husbands bare feet. he walked off about 20 feet to get some newspaper and i enquired as to the breed of snake as it looked strangely like an INLAND TIPAN... He confirmed this which caused me and my husband to take a few very LARGE steps backwards away from the snake poking its head out of its enclosure.
After the deal was done and we were bagging the childrens pythons, he noticed that a snake was out of water. He lifted the lid off a shallow enclosure and walked out to the kitchen to get some water. we had a brief look in the cage and made a quick exit outside when we saw a death adder looking back at us.
i'm all for cleanliness of their enclosures, but leaving enclosures with highly venemous snakes inside open when 2 people with a 9 month old baby come to buy a couple of childrens pythons i think is a little bit rude. at least a bit of warning would have been nice. what do u think, is this the norm out there, or am i just being a little paranoid???????
