I find pet shops discusting. The animals are

rarely taken care of propperly and the staff is often moronic.

If it were up to me shops would only be allowed to sell products

and feeder animals.



People on other forums will adimately dissagree with me. I don't

know if they just have lower standards or if there really are

good pet shops in other parts of the country. (I am in New

England.) I never buy animals from shops. They are over-priced

and in terrible shape.



I notable exception I have found is JL Reptile Breeders in

East Providence, RI. It is a small shop with a pleasant

and knowledgable staff. The place is clean and does not smell.

The animals look good and are fairly priced. I highly

recomend them. I sell JL my animals at a reduced price

because I want to support a good shop. I fear for them. It

seems the good ones go out of business.



Just my opinions,



Brian
