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

[j_h_smith]

You say you never use a thermometer etc etc etc. How to you manage your snakes heat? you just guess? You figure it just doesnt really matter? Im curious for your reasoning behind this. Do you just manage humidity/heat of your whole snake room?
Do you have no hides because your snake is in a dark drawer and feels safe? If you throw a hide in their box do they use it? Thanks

You mention managing humidity like your little hygrometer is accurate. Not by a long shot. Do you own a wet bulb hygrometer? Do you know the calculations on how to determine the actual humidity at any given temperature? So unless you have a couple hundred dollars in heat guns, and wet bulb hygrometers, I challenge you to prove that your set up actually correct.

If you want to stand there and cast stones, prove to me that your set up is correct.

Doesn't feel good being criticized does it? Well that's what you're doing to this pet store. We tried to guide you to the best of our abilities, but you make phone calls, invite the doggy deputy to visit this store. All for what reason, because you, a self professed expert with 10 months of experience determined that because he wasn't doing it your way, he was abusing the snakes.

I've been doing this for over 20 year and I'm still learning almost everyday. I can't imagine how you've become the complete herpetologist in just 10 months.
