Pet Snake Impulse Buying

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Sarah I am coming to you today from Pet Land in Pembroke Pines, Florida and on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am going to speak with you a little bit about choosing a pet snake. It is very important that you never buy a snake as a pet on an impulse and it is also important that you do not buy a snake as a pet if a child is begging and pleading. Snakes do require a lot more care than most people think. They require annual vet visits, de-wormings twice a year and they do not require any vaccines but it is important that if you feel like your snake is having any problems then you get them to a qualified reptile veterinarian as soon as possible. It is also important that you do not let a child convince you to buy a snake as the interest in snakes will sometimes fade very quickly from most children. You must understand that if you purchase your snake and your child says that he or she will take care of it that at some point likely that you will end up being a primary caretaker of that snake.
