Reptiles are animals, not stock to be put on a shelf, not a product to increase your bank account with. While I dont have a problem with the selling and breeding of herps in general, I think there is something seriously wrong with this business when people use it to cash in on the latest fad, minimizing "overhead" by giving their animals sub-optimal care. This pertains not just to pet stores, but to the large reptile wholesalers and breeders who have no real regard for their animals and are only in it to make a living. I would far rather give my money to a basement breeder who truly cares about their herps and is less concerned with cashing in.
