I loved stopping there.


    Well, if you think here is an issue with overcrowding - as per your last pic - I think it would be a good idea to let Ken know that it was something you saw and were concerned about................sometimes there is an explanation, and sometimes there isn't.

    That's a great camera. I like the anaconda pic.

    That is sure a lot of box turtles! I have to agree, way more then should be in the enclosure. The only excuse I have is we just got them in, and they are almost all going to be shipped out to customers next week. This is the last big batch of the season, and we ordered heavy so we'd still have some for xmas. Those photos are very nice, by the way. Thanks for taking them. The two things I noticed that I did not like (not counting the turtles) is the photo of the skinny Sandfish, and the photo of the dry looking Tree python. As soon as I saw the snake, he went in for a soak. Our humidity is only about 5% here, so it's really hard on very tropical stuff sometimes. The Sandfish looks horrible. I regret to say that sometimes a few come in looking like that, and we do our best to help them recover from the horror they have been subjected to before they find thier way to us.
    For the most part I'm very proud of my store. I try to be a cut above what you generally would expect to find in a retail store. Usually I succeed. Sometimes I don't. But I always try to maintain the best standards and quality that I possibly can. Thank you for your kind words and support. Being critical about my business is good too. It pushes me to improve, which I always strive to do.

    Nice store Mr. Foose, I wish your ethics were contagious to the point of epidemic goodness.

    You're more then welcome. And you are welcome back anytime. Next time let one of us show you a good looking Sandfish though lol. I really liked your photos a lot. I was alerted that someone came in the store and took a lot of photos to show how bad the store looked, but when I looked at your shots I just thought "these are really good photos". I wish I could take as nice of ones as you did. I really suck at picture taking, even with a new camera. I'm happy you enjoyed your visit. Like I said, come back anytime. I was off yesterday, so next time you stop by ask for me so I can say howdy.
