I can atest for M. chambers view on reordering. I would keep telling head office about Green Iguanas and why they should not be sold. Every time we sold a couple, more owuld come in. I ended up convincing most of my customers that they didi not need a green iguana and even persuaded customers to write letters to head office. After a while, we stopped selling them in Canada. The onyl thing head office looks at is if they sold. If there is a high amount of deaths or non sales, then they look at removing the animal from their inventory. It is sad to say but if you feel sorry for the animal, leave it at teh store or they will just keep buying more.

By teh way, yes I did quit working there. They started to take advantage of my reputation (I have more than 150 reptiles and am fairly well known in my area). They would tell customers that I felt the animal was ok for sale even after I would tell them that the animal needed help. Remember, this goes on in all of the biig pet chains (i find the small mom & pop shops are usually much better)
