Re: [gecko]Complaints Against Petshops

Hi- Here in Queens, I had a "Petland Discount" store that I named "The Killing Fields". They have a total disregard for their reptiles. Most birds they sell are rather costly, and the loss of valuble "product" is frowned upon. But the reptiles (and fish) they commonly sell are extremely cheap, a
