I recently caught wind of a reptile wholesaler/shop and importer about four hours north of where I live. Supposedly the conditions in this place are not good, dead animlas left for days in with live ones, very sick wild caught reptiles spreading desease to everything, and not a single thing fed!!! The way this place is run, all they do is import reptiles and hope they sell off before they starve to death or get bacterial infections or worse from decaying animals around them. How does a place like this stay open you say? Well, a certain liability clause as I gather. The purpose of this business is to IMPORT and DISTRIBUTE and they are obligated to do nothing but import and distribute if they choose. That includes feeding and giving water. Anyways, there is not all that much to be done about this particular person and his shop(though he will ruin himself in time because no big accounts like other pet shops will buy from him)but, my frind and myself will be going up there in a couple of weeks and hopefully giving at least a few things a new home and with it a better chance of living. We each plan to go up with two or three hundred and we'll see what we can do. I hate to support a place like this but when you find yourself looking at these poor suffering animals it is hard to take our business elsewhere.
