My local Mom&Pop pet store closed last year. This was a bummer for me, as I was selling them a lot of mice. The owner just could not keep it afloat. We do have a big Petco, (which to the little pet store was like Walmart to the local hardware store) and this Petco does seem to be keeping in business, although I don't know how. Their prices are high and in reptiles they don't have very much selection. I guess they sell a lot of dog and cat food. But the feed store is a block away and it also sells dog and cat food, as does the aforementioned Walmart. I sell a few mice to the feed store, but not the volume I used to sell to the little pet store.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.
