Thanks to the both of you. I'm amazed at much this bothered me today. I have never really been a reptile person but since I stepped into the store it's been my goal to try and learn more about them. Of course I have been reading up on everything snakes but other reptiles I don't know very much. I know that I need to take initiative and do what I can to ensure the animals are well taken care of. If someone walked in and saw that we could get reported and shut down.
I like my job but there are definitely some downsides too it. I don't want to bad mouth them but the managers should care about the animals they sell in the store. If someone brings a home a sick animal it doesn't give them a very good reputation.
I definitely would like to see some things change at the store and I know that I can be part of that change. I have a deeper level of understanding about animal care than I ever did before. It's not just feed, water, clean and so on. There is so much more you have to do to keep the animals in good condition.
Starting from today I am going to be more pro active about the care of the animals. They come before the product but sometimes the managers don't see that.
It's not that I hate my managers. I don't.. I would like them to be more concerned about the welfare of the creatures we keep.
