Thanks so much for your quick response and thoughts guys. Greatly appreciated! Many of us here in Canada have seen very poorly managed reptile shops and wanted to know whether if a place existed out there that we can tell this to, in order to help solve the situation. I guess the best thing we can

Hi all, Just had a quick question. Is there a website out there, that you can go to and complain about pet shops that poorly treat their reptiles? And if such a thing exists, do they do anything about it, or is it a waste of time? Thanks in advance! -SF
