One of the problems you might come across is that a pet/reptile shop don't not have to pay a wage if they don't want to you see work experience form collage is free And 5 days a week . You might have the no how and the ability to do a fantastic job but it will cost and the biggest job in a pet/reptile shop is watering cleaning and feeding sorry m8 but that is how it is iv tryed myself........Brian

I contemplated trying to do something like that, but in the end decided I will get a job thats gonna pay me a decent enough wage to have my own collection, because in my opinion just working in your average pet shop isnt really a well paid career.

"Its not a well paid job thats why i don't wanna go there "

With that attitude it aint gonna happen.

But why a pet shop why not go further ?
