nearly rescued a python today :(

[steph09]

i went to a reptile shop in hull just to have a look around and by god, it was shocking. i was gobsmacked to how bad the shop was. the conditions the snakes wher kept in was appaling. there was a python that was going through such a bad shed, it was so dry and dehydrated. the water bowl was so small the snakes head wouldnt even fit in it. it looked so in pain all the vivs had the wrong light bulbs in, with no cages on them either. all the substrates were filthy and looked like they havent been changed in months. also all the vivs were piled high on top of each other that they wher starting to bend in the middle. stupidd shop!!! it was so bad i had to leave, specially when i saw that the hatchling snakes and spiders were in airtight containers with no holes in for them!!! .
the cost of some animals were very cheap but, id rather pay more for an animal that are kept in excellent conditions than in bad ones. if i had the money i would of rescued that python
leaping lizards all the way, best shop in the country

But that just means the shop would get money to buy more snakes and keep them in the same awful conditions?

Buy the flipping thing, then report the sh** hole of a shop, or come to a deal with the owner for more then one of the pythons/snakes, explain where he/she is going wrong, dont just blab on here about it to us, try to help
