I would rather euthanize every single reptile that comes to me , rather than see a singleone go to a home where it starves in a cold cage, is poorly or underfed, kept in an enclosure it can barely even move in, eventually left to lie in it's own feces as it slowly withers into non-existence. I have also answered some more of your interesting questions on another forum. For your reading pleasure and criticism i'm going to go ahead and cut/paste my own questionnaire

I personally don't see anything wrong with this. And if it were up to me and i were supreme animal welfare dictator it would be required by law for all pet-stores. If they failed to comply? Or if they were providing sub-standard care? Liscense revoked jack. No trial, no jury, straight to flipping burgers.
