I also refused many sales, if the person could not enclose and care properly for the reptile. Sadly this isn't the norm, and even us caring individuals are at the mercy of the materials provided at the pet store for housing. To get to the point I guess, don't feel too bad, there is a possibility that someone who actually cares, is caring for your baby right now.

Thank you that does make me feel better. The guy that helped me seemed like he really did care. Other people that have worked at these places say that the management will not allow them to really help customers other than stated by the stores corporate policy. These big stores only care about money nothing about animals care or the customers ability to care for them
