I made a post awhile back about a BP I found for sale at a PAWN SHOP?!?! The conditions were deplorable!! I called the GDOA and they were out the next day and rescued it. I was very impressed.
OverTech, I agree with you. I did some personal "investigating" and found out that when they DO come in to inspect, they pretty much just look at the overall conditions in an exotics store. They check for enclosure size, paperwork, cleanliness, paperwork, making sure all animals are legal, paperwork, oh, and did I mention paperwork? They do not and are not worried about temperatures, humidity levels, and the sort. BUT, if you sell mammals, i.e. cats and dogs, THEN they get more involved, as more laws do apply to those types of pets. It is a shame that we, as reptile owners, continously fight a battle with breaking the stereotypes of repts, and to top it off, we have pet stores tarnishing the image as well. There has got to be something we can do. Just my .02 worth. Oh, and welcome to RTB!!!!
