Hi, I'm currently in the middle of an email discussion with HSUS and the USDA about a "zoo" I visited recently that had some horrible issues with their reptiles (dead animals, hot rocks for snakes including the ~10 ft burmese in a big fish tank, no water, huge swollen areas on some king snakes, no-pest strips in with every one of them, temps of 98 degrees in the tanks, etc).

A vet from the USDA says she's talked to the co-owner of the zoo about the issues but they would like me to come up with some research supporting my claim that the no-pest strips can cause nerve/neuro damage. I have some reference papers on hand and a book or two, but I've seen several threads about it on here and I'd like compile a few more sources here if possible. If you can provide me with a reputable reference, please PM me or post it here. Thanks!
