I really hope you can fix this lady up!! The very idea that someone can look at that animal, and not be alarmed is absolutely ludicrous!!!
Today I drove my gran to the library, then she wanted to stop at a new pet shop that opened, she wants to get my younger cousin(9 yrs), a gold fish in a bowl, so they can raise it. As I walk in, I see a big bearded dragon in a parrot cage, in thw sun, with no water...strike 1!
I get inside, and the place is tiny, on the counter is a small tank with about 30 beardies(what we call baby bearded dragons over here), minus U.V lighting, and ones tail was bitten in half, still red and raw, no action taken...strike 2...
Then, what caused me to take my gran and her money to a safe distance from that shop, is the fact that the one shop assistant is about 14, one is maybe 15 or 16an and the 14 year old evidently has 70 leopard gheckos that he breeds...He might well have, but the husbandry in that store was so appauling, that he should hand those Geckos over to someone else...
I've got nothing against youngsters keeping reptiles, or working at a pet store during the school holidays, don't get me wrong we need all the participation in the hobby we can get, but honestly, the very least people can do is know what they're doing!!!!
