Is it just me or does that "brown tree snake" in the picture look more like a Stephens banded?
This reptile shop is just doen the road from me and they've only just got their website back up and running.
Interesting, I never would have thought they'd make a mistake like that.

I love petshops, full of great info

I just hope no one gets bitten by it thinking its only a bts!

Hmm, have to say I'm pretty dissappointed. Always seemed like they knew their stuff. Although, that was back when I was a newbie and had no idea. Guess I know better now. Might drop a few hints when I go in their next... although, thats IF I go back. Hehe.

The sad thing is, it's not like a regular petshop, they specialise in reptiles, it's all they sell. Herps, enclosures and accesories. And there's only three guys that ever work there, so it's not just "cheap, inexperienced teens" working there. Maybe they know better but their web designer doesn't.

 

[waruikazi]

I would say they have a bad web designer.

[jonesc1]

this reminds me of a story of a guy who bought a carpet python from a random at a pub that he later learned was a russles viper

The shop is actually well set out with some very nice reptiles. All the animals appear healthy enough aswell and are labelled correctly in the shop, unlike the site...lol

The guys are nice enough and quite knowledgeable. The info on the site does seem like a Copy and Past job though.
