hi i am going have a rant
am really pissed of with local rep shop any one from ips will know what they are like
last thursday me an dean went in to have a l.ook at the reps an buy some equipment, was looking at an albino cali kingsnake when i noticed that it's skin wasn't right at first i though it was a burn on a closer look realised it was scale rot, mentioned it to the guy working there an he said he had noticed it the last couple days told him i though it was scale rot but i will look into it for him, so came home did a bit of research found out how to help the snake, so today we went back i told him it was scale rot told him how to deal with it, he turned round an said "yeah i know i will put it out back" but he did nothing with the snake, he claims that it is about to go into shed an will see how it looks after, i said he needs to get it treated an into a clean viv with minimal interior an a paper towel substrate until it was cleared up an to lower the humidity slightly an he replied well i juat gave the whole viv a spray so its nice an moist now. thoughts going through my head "twat" he says he knows whats wrong an how to deal with it then does nothing, another thing i told him if he's not carefull the snake will get worse an possibly die, he turned round an said "u'll be surprised what state i have brought animals back from". i am very concerned for the welfare of not only the cali but all the reps kept there, there is always shit in the vivs, reps without water, crickets running around in snake vivs, the guys doesn't always clean out vivs when sold an animal before putting a new one in, today they had a new basilisk in he put it straight in with the ones that have been there for a couple months, there's a beardies who he things might have something wrong with still on display for sale, am very angry with the conditions they are kept in aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh not really sure wot to do they don't seem to appreciate any help we have offered them, don't want to go to the rspca as they are'nt exactly up on reptiles an we have know reptile support groups in suffolk if i had the money i would buy all the reps in order for them to get the treatment they need am so angry, am so glad i have vented know.
