Arrrrrg!!!!
Yesterday during a unexpected break at work I wondered into the local place of animal suffering 'pet store' some are good some are bad this one is bad. I rarely go into it and almost never go to the reptile section. Yesterday I did both. I saw the most sad looking little no tiny royal I have ever seen, stuck shed, weak, eye caps, dangerously dehydrated... the list continues. After begging the clerk to do something. I went back to work heavy hearted. By the time I got home (late) I was quite bothered.
My partner after hearing the story just said you had better hurry they close in 20 min I'll get the tub ready.
I don't agree with supporting a store with bad practices by buying from them but I just could not stop myself. No scolding please I already hate the weak will of walking in the door the first time.
I brought her home, (no I have not sexed her so yes I picked one for no reason) My partner and her daughter both were on the verge of tears she looked so bad. We soaked her for 45 min and most of the stuck shed came off. She looks 100% better this morning but still very very under fed. 31 gms and they had her for 4 months.I wanted to tear a piece off the sale person but he just about hugged me when I asked for her that saved him. I did write to the head office and regional manager and the head of the rescue organization I belong to as well.
Anyway here are some pics from this morning, I couldn't bear to do any last night.
