I went into a small petstore that I thought only sold feed and birds, but sitting in the back was one lonely tank with a UTH slapped on it (of course with no control) no lamp or any other heat source, crickets EVERYWHERE, and a little lizard. I don't know what breed he was, there was no price tag or name so he may have been a 'store pet' but it made me sick.

I originally had ordered my BP from a local reptile store but after waiting 6 weeks past the date he was suppose to arrive I bought from a breeder. Anyway after checking that reptile store 1 month later (they never notified me of the arrival of any BP's) I saw a single sickly looking little boy. They told me the snake was reserved for me and that the other 4 ordered with him died on the trip over. I am glad I didnt buy him ($199!) but I felt so bad. He had shed stuck all over him, he was very triangular and gapped his mouth several times. There are so many pet stores around here like that, but only so many of them can actually be stopped
