I know everyone here has visited at least one completely awful LPS.
I have one near me, and I hate going in there! They house all of their animals on wood chips/bark and the snakes are dehydrated and stuck with no hides. :main_no:The last time I went in the was with my mom because she needed some supplies there.
What's interesting to me is the fact that everyone hates that one big chain P*tsm*rt because of the poor care of animals, but the one P*tsm*rt close to me is actually very decent!
The staff is very knowledgeable about the reptiles(one of the employees owns many of her own reptiles and I've compared the information I researched online with what she told me; she knows her stuff) and the animals are well taken care off. A worker once refused to sell a juvenile bearded dragon to a young child because the tip of its tail was detached and wasn't done healing. I might be wrong, but in my eyes I see this as a responsible move.
I've purchased my leopard gecko and bearded dragon from this particular chain store, and I haven't had one problem yet.
I wish the other chain stores were just as decent as this one. Does anyone else have a surprisingly good chain store that they shop at?
