Well, It has been over three months now with my back all messed up and no improvement at all! I am really starting to wonder if they will ever fix me or just put me out to pasture like some old Bull!

So I have been toying with the idea of possibly starting my own small animal pet shop here in my county. I don’t want just strictly Reptile, because I think the market is too small still for a local shop to do just that. I was thinking Reptiles, Small cage Birds (Finches, Parakeets, Cockatiels etc), small exotic Mammals and fresh water fish.

I am thinking of a full service store with all the Dry Goods to go with all the different animals that I would sell.

Anyone out there currently have their own store and can give some advice?
