I just got back from holidays...a road trip through 12 different states.
While visiting Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, we stopped at Reptile Gardens, just outside Rapid City.

I have been pretty disappointed with how pet shops keep their reptiles, but compared to this place, Petco is like a 5 star resort.

I could not believe the poor conditions at this place.

We could see mites and ticks on a lot of the snakes and all of the enclosures were full of feces and urates, snakes with bad sheds...absolutely brutal.

As snake owners, we went in thinking how great it was going to be to see all kinds of exotic snakes and left disgusted.

Anyone else familiar with this place?
