    Oh the other mouse died 2 weeks later and the thermostat I bought from them (which was the only reason I went there in the first place) didn't even work. I didn't even remember to mention that to the manager bc I was so dumbfounded at the bs coming out of his mouth. Smh

    I was totally put off by EARC. It smells horrible in there. Its super cluttered and dirty. Everything in that store is dirty and disgusting, enclosures are disgusting, it's just gross. The animals look miserable. I will never go in there again and I warn all my friends to never go either. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

    Ikr. I can't believe they stay in business. I was extremely new to reptilles but knew that place was bad. Some snakes had prominent backbones, no hide, horrible sheds, and some were soaking. I didn't know at the time but I'm sure they had mites as well. The owner had the lil high school girl thinking she couldn't bring anything home to her own reptiles. Not too mention rodents. I had to explain to her that yes rodent and reptile mites are different but they will catch rides on you or another animal. He had her believing they would only stick to animals and that it's perfectly safe to handle and feed sick rodents to these snakes. After I held the mitey mouse I broke out in a rash. I'm not allergic to mice. I know those mites bit me. I'm sure they jumped right off but still. I'll never feed Wiz a sick nasty mouse. That place needs to be shut down before they sell some ibd snakes and kill someone's whole collection. Owner said if I buy snakes I should expect to buy one with mites eventually bc it's normal and common. Lhh really? Maybe normal if I bought from YOU!

    Up until a few years ago Tropical World Pets was a fish specialty shop IIRC, but they carry reptiles & reptile supplies now as well. The employees seem to be pretty knowledgeable, and the animals were healthy from what I could tell. Of course, I'm a little short, so I couldn't see in all of the cages, haha.
    I've never heard of the place you mentioned, and I'm glad I haven't... I'd have a few choice words for them.

    It's pretty funny. Now that he's ACTUALLY about to shed there is no question whether or not his eyes look dull. I guess I was paranoid. There is really no doubt. I feel silly cause now it's obvious.

    Hes sooo faded. I think maybe handling him often has gained his trust or maybe he's just super chill. He didn't his or strike when I took him out like i expected. Is this considered being in the "blue"? It looks like it wouldn't be too easy to see through that.
