As we don't have reptiles in pet shops here in sydney, I really wanted to go looking to see how the animals are kept.
The lizard enclosures seemed fine but I was upset to find dirty snake holding tubs. All of them had one, two and even three poops in them which would indicate they had not been cleaned out for a while.
They allow the public to handle the snakes which I presume is the norm but there was no hand gel or wipes to clean your hands.
Considering that one of the first thing we're taught or read about is cleanliness and hygiene......
I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
Are they all the same?
Anyway, I got turned off visiting any more shops.
