I have worked at 2 differnet pet stores over the last 4 years, and am a burmese owner myself. The first store I worked at my boss actually told me I was losing to many sales. If anyone would come in, and be interested in anytype of animal, wether it be a hampster, or a retic, I would make sure the people knwew all potentials of the animal they were interested in. I have had people wanting a retic walk out with a ball, and people wanting lizards walk out with snake, and vise versa. My point im trying to make is, all store pwners/employees have a choice. They have the ability to educate the customers on the potential of all the animals they sell, to ensure that the home can provide for this animal, and not have tio dump it off somewhere once it starts to outgrow that 10g tank you bought for it. Some stores are just irrresponsible, and would rather make a sale, and have a chance of more freak accidents like this happen and have a chance of their sales being stoped by new laws, then trying to edcate a buyer, and take the chance of losing a sale. We all have a choicce, and if we want to keep our pets uin our families, we a the reptile community, must start making the right choices to save out pets.
