That's my point, and it's just like your local "pet shop" that sells an animal mislabeled as a different morph than it actually is. They're just there to make money, the animal is only dollar signs rather than living being.


Though, not all big box stores are like this. My local petco has the president of the herpetology club and many members working there, taking care of all the animals.
