It is a horrible problem. The worst part is that there is not much that we can do about $10 monitors being sold every weekend at shows. The last Exotic animal show that I went to was pretty bad. Everyone there had baby ball pythons and/or baby savs. My wife got a python (her 3rd in the house) and I am sure it will grow to be a healthy adult. I wish I could say the same for the other animals at the show.

I see the savs, niles, and balls crammed in little tanks with no water or heat. One vendor has dead savs in their tank. I know this happens every weekend at numerous cities all over the country. Places like Petsmart are no better. I can save the ones I have, but that is all I can do. I know everyone here feels the same way.
