Holy crap, where?

No I didn't see that...I was shocked at the BP's and looking at all the corns doing stuff I've never seen corns do...I usually check the places out before I bring the kids to see the reptiles and this store didn't pass the test...

i really like how they bird sit and stuff but they also do not qt any of their birds and a 3/4 wall blocking morphs from the crap the has in that store would hardly stop any thing that any animal in that store could have or has

Disappointing.

So it sounds like you've been there Nixer?

a few times but i never bought anything there my g/f goes there for bird toys

That place is too far... AND I live in Chicago.

Southside:rolleyes:
But yeah... I thought this place was like the place to go to for Reptile in Chicago.

I've been planning to make the drive out there... Guess it's safe to assume I shouldn't waste the gas :confused:

Sux cuz I was really looking forward to it :(

Yuck. That store looks like a mess from that photo gallery. And you say that was the first day???

I guess I'm just a little spoiled rotten by the awesome store presentation of Blazing Reptiles close to my house. They don't have an online store, so I can't show you photos. I'll see if I can take a few while I'm there.

They keep their breeders and higher end morphs in the back of the store. They don't really just let anyone in there. I've maybe been back there twice? And I've known Brian Potter for a while. When I was growing up in the city ('ghetto' to some), Brian lived on the block behind me. I can understand not letting any normal ol' Joe seeing you high dollar/prized snakes. I wouldn't let someone who I've never met before near my snakes.
