I was at the Expo today, and I noticed one of the pet shop displays had a table full of "keeping reptiles" type books, and amongst them were a couple of copies of "Keeping Cornsnakes" :shock:
Does anyone else think this is a bit weird, being that corn snakes aren't legal in this country??? I just thought it was a bit irresponsible. At an Expo dedicated to protecting and conserving our native wildlife, they were basically condoning, if not encouraging the idea that exotics are/can be kept in this country! I also saw is as a dodgy "advertisement" - my reaction was that they knew someone who knew someone who could get a corn snake on the quiet if you asked the right people...
What is everyone else's opinion on this? Did anyone see the book on display?
