DONT BUY FROM THEM. even if you think its liberating the animals it's just supporting them restocking and mistreating more animals.

maybe if you report that they are selling mislabled snakes that are mildly venomous as a non venomous they might get shut down a bit more effectively?

alternatively someone should just break in and clean em out completely . :P

and i havent been in there for a while just on principal on how they keep their animals....

i recent met sum1 who said "its not how the shop keeps them its how you keep them after youve bought them" so decided to go to this shop and mabey "liberate" a snake or 2 .... but walked away again..

corns kept on sand... when asked.. aparently corns come from the desert (must be why their viv was at over 95oC then...

and 2 rat snakes in a tank... LOL 1 rat was obviously boiga dendrophilla (black and yellow mangrove) i have a pic on my phone but doesnt show up too well... this is obviously well fed.. ill give them that.. but are being kept on bark chips with no moisture except the water bowl... i had a look at the snake wich i was shown by a child... could of been no older than 10 !!! but i got it from the tank... and he was telling me how its a rat snake from texas and how they sell really well and how they are perfect for a beginer snake ... :S i then spoke to the "boss" who rang the reptile specialist to come back from tesco wich he did.. and he assured me it was a rat snake... i then showed him the pic on my phone of my old boiga and he changed his mind.. then walked off...

no lables were changed or anything.. some person is gonna buy a ratsnake.. thinking its gonna be placid.. and its gonna bite them and f**k them up...

im sick of reporting this shop for its keeping conditions because they never stay shut.. and the prices are ridiculously high (£65 for hatchling normal corn) so cannot help by buying any !!

how the hell does he stay open !

peace

meh the shop is 2 minutes from derbyshires head police station.. and yet they do nothing... he has a licence to sell firearms... the ones upstairs are legal (ish) things like shotguns etc.. the fact he has illegal ones available that the police dont know about and no1 can prove because they are not kept on premises doesnt come into it...

and he would find a way around it all.. he always does...

if it wasnt for the fact it would kill whats in there.. id torch the place.. but then id get done.. hed claim on insurance and open elsewhere.

Yeah one tried to sell my auntie a knuckle duster & said it was in the boot of i=his car outside, so maybe they keep them in there. I dunno it was about 4 years ago, & the station is so close you could prob drive there in 1 min or walk in 4 or 5

I know what you're talking about.

I used to live up your neck of the woods and I stumbled across that place a few years back and was THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED by what I saw.
