So while I was working last night, someone came in and said that they heard that I had some snakes. I told her yea, Ive got two at the moment and have two on the way, then started showing pictures and all that fun stuff..

Well then she told me about this petstore near me that Ive never been to before (its a 'fish' store, been open for years but Ive never been in there), and she said that they had alot of reptiles.

So I went there today to check it out, and the first thing I see when I walk in is two huge BPs, laying together in their own fecies, and with maybe a 50w bulb about a foot away from them, and no UTH (the store was FREEZING!!), and the cage was the set up for like a baby green tree python. They also had two BD's in a cage togather, with a lightbulb burning through the screen, and the cage was WAY too small for one- let alone two. There were rats huddled together in a cage- some dead. ALOT of little lizards that looked lathargic- one of the baby iggys was touching the light bulb in its cage and was being burned, but still not moving...

There was alot more too- their fish seemed great- but as you can probably tell the reptiles- not at all.

So a myself and my friend that was with me, decided to talk to the people to see what we could do... Nothing. Plus neither of us had the money to get the on us ($100, each), to get the BPs, but we both put down a $25 deposite down, and set up an oppointment to take them both to the vet right after we pick the up from the pet store on Wed. (that gives us enough time to get a new tank set up and everything ready for them when we take them home). They did let us take out the BP's and BD's and look at them, and the BP's over all health didnt seem too bad, but I think one of them might have RI.

As for the other animals, weere thinking of calling animal control. We dont have the space for them or else Id have bout 25 lizards instead of 1, but its not possible for me.

What do you think I should do? I'm happy that were saving the snakes, but as for the rest- I dont know. The stores not going to change, thats for sure... Some help please?
