Its always hard to see an animal being mistreated. I've got the local ASPCA and the NH Fish and Wildlife Commission on speed-dial on my phone now. I've seen too many animals mis-treated and kept in horrible conditions but I, unfortunately, just don't have the money or the space to keep a rescue. So from now on when I see this kind of mistreatment I will be calling the ASPCA immediately and hopefully the pet store owner will learn that they are not qualified in the least to care for reptiles when they get slapped with an animal cruelty fine.
I'm so sorry about your Lucky. I hate losing any animal
