So, I am at my local reptile store the other day. I like the place and I've always had good dealings with them but they were doing something the other day that really made me question their thinking. They have hots at the store and I always enjoy looking at them. I actually use their hots to help me teach my kids about the animals that you leave alone. Anyway, I was there picking up rats with my kids when I heard a telltale rattle. Turns out these guys had "sectioned off" the hot area with a few chairs and were messing around with a rattlesnake. My kids were very interested and I had to restrain them to keep them far enough away from the activity. I would have not though twice about it if there were not kids in the store. A rattlesnake that I can see and hear is not generally something I worry about but my kids being in the store as well as other people's at the time concerned me quite a bit. I did not say anything to anyone at the store but I got my rats and got my kids out of there ASAP. I don't think I will be taking my kids back in there. Anyone think I am overreacting?
