I think people who breed their own herps generally take much better care of their animals than pet shops. They will take the time to learn what their animals need and focus on one type of animal. Pet shops which do all kinds of animals sometimes aren't as good with any specific animal. whereas someone concentrating on one type such as snakes or lizards can learn more about their animals. The key is learning about your animal's needs before buying it.
