PROOF that pet stores know nothing...

So basically ask for reputable breeders or pet shops and don't just look for the best deal...

Bingo..

Also know what bad husbandry is and don't think that you will be doing the animal a favor by getting it. The store will only replace it with another one. :cens0r:

Buy from a good breeder or from a store that sells quality/cared for animals. the extra money you spend getting from a good breeder save you on vet bills and dieing animals.

I dont even buy feeders from that store any more. They dont even get my smallet order.

I plann on buying them out one day and doing it right. :zerb:

This is my main issue with chain stores but mainly with fish. More importantly saltwater fish. I dont buy (sw fish) from chains as a result of this kind of behavior.

I think that the only thing "chain" stores are good for is supplies. I wouldn't get any animals from a chain store. I would either go to a breeder or a specialty store for the animal itself.

You get what you pay for...

I hafta give props to a local reptile store (well, local 20 miles away), Amazon Reptile Center in Montclair. We'll be buying ratties there for Cleo since the local reptile shops don't carry ratties small enough cleo (she's on rat weanlings...small adults are still a bit too big), so drove out this weekend to get her ratty (awesome hobby store out there too we go to all the time, so it's no hardship).

Anywho, I noticed they had a sticker on their front door, kinda likes this:

And they are only reptile store that I've seen that houses all snakes, including all those itty bitty baby CH bp's, each in their own deli cup...stacks and stacks of them! And they all look good...each cup has it's own little water cup that actually has water!

Good folks...=) I hadn't noticed the "no mites" sticker brefore, but I cracked up when I saw it, hehe...

It's unnecessary to needle other members that way.

You may not care about grammar on the forum...and that is totally your prerogative. However...since the forum is solely about communication through the written word, you might want to re-think how you approach it. If you'd like other members to take you more seriously, and if you'd like to be able to have people understand your jokes and expressions....then paying more attention to grammar and spelling might be a really good idea.

Up to you, though. ;)
