If you MSN me please leave a message, don't just say "hi", I get a lot of MSNs every day from people I do not know, and I don't respond unless I know you, or you're asking a question / say what you want.

By the way, I just got a message by the owner of said shop, and he explained to me the reason why they aren't using lamp guards and it made a lot of sense.
I asked him to include his reply in that thread that got locked so that it would close the matter, and no one would be under the impression I had when I visited the shop, but it will be down to him if he wants to do so or not. |

what happens when the local council don't have a clue?
when they think a water dish and clean glass shows adequate knowledge and care of the animals? when they think it is acceptable to advise new keepers that "iguanas are much better pets than bearded dragons" and sell them with a 3ft tank? ???????? |

Local council never have a clue. They are a bunch of idiots that often don't even live in the area where they work (or should be working).
They can barely be bothered to listen to you in regards to basic duties such as burn street lighting, street cleaning, vandalism, etc. Obviously they would not give a shite about animal care, unless you're lucky enough that one of the councilars happen to be a reptile keeper. They are a bunch of mercenaries who only care about their fat wages and the pensions they will be entitled to having done little or no work. If I was very worried about a certain shop, I'd first write to them (I don't like to have a go face to face), and see if they answer your questions in writting. Other than that, you could liaise with rescue centres, because often they know who has the power to go and inspect these places. Alternatively, you can write to your local paper and tell them your story. Through my experience, newspapers are always after new sotries, and they are generally good at investigating and quick in writting articles. Just make sure you write a nice story, being honest, not exaggerating anything that can be used against you or our hobby in the future. |

right... think this is the right place to ask, about a week ago i went for a look in a rep department, they didn't have a lot there and most of the live stock wasn't for sale, wether they were having treatment or bein used for breedin i don't know i didn't ask, anyway there was an adult corn snake that WAS for sale and i'm sure that i saw something resembling a tick crawling over the substrate, so i had a closer look at them all and wasn't very happy, in fact i came out feelin quite depressed, i'm not a busy body and i don't like complainin but i can't stop thinkin that i need to do somethin, so what do i do?
