help for a petshop. (any herp lovers read)

domingoakasunday Apr 04, 2004 12:08 PM

I attend college in a small town outside of roanoke, and a pet shop just opened a few weeks ago. this shop only deals in CB reptiles and keeps heat, humidity, and cage cleanlyness good for all the animals. So in otherwords they are a small shop and I want to keep them open. The owner doesnt know much about reptiles but gets caresheets for everything she buys so she can take care of it. Early on she got several iguanas and will not sell them to people unless they buy a large cage and she makes sure they know what they have to go thu for them. I greatly respect the owner.

What I am asking for is a list of reptiles (or some "normal" petshop animals) that she could buy for rather cheap and wont feel bad about selling to the public.
I told her try for a few skinks, maybe a corn snake or two. she has ball pythons, anoles, iguanas, and leopard geckos.

thanks for any help you can give!

Does she really have USCB anoles and iguanas? The vast majority of iggies are farmed and the anoles plain WC. Whoever supplied those to her may have been bending the truth.

Cheaper animals availbale CB
leopard gex
fat tail gex
tokay gex
pictus gex
bearded dragons
veiled chameleons
cornsnakes
kingsnakes
'pits' (bulls n gophers)
ball pythons
red tailed boas
checkered garter snakes
sand and rosy boas
red eyed and other tree frogs

That should get anyone started. Most of the battle is finding a good supplier with decent prices.
