As I said. That's something that is unusual for them. Anytime I've been in their stores, everything was fine, something is usually being cleaned. Be it the pocket pets, fish tanks, or the reptiles. Half the time there's signs up saying "Hi, I just arrived at the store and I'm not for sale right now". Their animals come from a local breeder, so it quite possibly could have been an issue there. However, I'm guessing that they changed caretakers with the reptile department.
