Somebody definitely got pissed with what they're doing there n called that in..they been open for 13 yrs I think.. But you already know you can only do but so much before it catches up to you.. I could imagine the fines there gonna have to pay especially for having that croc in the basement n charging $5 just to go down n see it..I would never support buying animas from them but they were a solid source for a variety of feeders!
I highly doubt that poor guy made it it was disgusting how he looked
do you mean an actual crocodile, or are you talking about the croc monitor? i remember seeing the monitor before they moved next door, in the giant cage right next to the
PUFF ADDER haha. i never went in the basement; the few times i've been there were quick and i just looked at what they had for sale. honestly, whatever they had down there i wasn't interested in. i was questioning more as to why all the snakes had mites and why there were a few dead animals lying around. i went to the new store once with a friend (who previously bought a GTP from them; they said it was captive bred and it had 3 different internal parasites
) and again, i wasn't impressed. that was the last time i went in that place.
and i agree, even with immediate vet treatment, i don't think there would have been much hope.
i am from long island, and i go there all the time. the head guy really know what he is talking about. i a shocked about that picture you put up of that chameleon. they are always helpful and nice. they have some really nice panther young panther right now that look good.
about 3 years ago i first entered their store, and at first sight i knew they were going to be sketchy. dead animals, parasites, and not to mention the "head guy" at the time is lighting up cigarettes right next to a case of bins with snakes in them (i'm a smoker too, but i don't subject my animals or anyone elses to it; that would be WRONG). they can
pretend to know what they're talking about, and they can
seem so helpful and nice, but in the long run they're just trying to make another extra dollar like most (but not all) pet stores. this is why researching through books, websites, forums like this one are so important. these are the people you want to ask the questions to. those really nice panthers that are young and look good probably just got to that store; if the store didn't close, i'd ask you to go back in a week or two and let me know how they looked.
