What do I do about a pet store that is taking poor care of BPs?

By the way...

An animal control officer(who did not actually reply in this thread) contacted me over private message asking for the address of the store in question and he lives in the twin cities just like I do. I of course gave the address because I believe this store needs to be held accountable!


I am not out to ruin this pet store by any means but I do want to make them take care of their animals!

So what's the purpose of your post? You want this store to be held accountable, accountable to whom? You? Why should they have to meet with your approval? You admit you've only owned a snake for some 9-10 months and you're going to be considered the expert here. I don't think so. Yeah, I know, you've read all the caresheets. These are opinions given. I've NEVER used a thermometer, nor a hygrometer. NONE of my breeders have a hide. As a matter of fact, there are times my snakes don't have a water bowl of any size in their enclosure. Ask any breeder, they'll tell you the same thing. You're an example of a little information be dangerous. Keep snakes for a few more years and see if your opinion doesn't change.

Your taking up a fight that doesn't need to be taken.

Show me pictures of a sick/dead/malnurished or otherwise sub standard snake being sold in this store. Seems like he's taken good care of the snake, but not to your standards.

Not trying to ruin the store? Why then make the calls you have? Not trying to ruin the store? Then what is your reason? In the other thread, many explained to you that this isn't animal cruelty, but we gave ideas to you. You never commented on talking to the owner or empoyees. So , now you're back for round 2. What do you want us to say? We gave you all the advice we had to give you in the first thread.
