Just wanted to mention the mean pet store. It's located in
Los Angeles and it's known as L.A Pet Center. They have
had an iguana for over an year and a half. No one is buys her
probably because of her size and because the owners up the
price every time someone is intrested in the iguana.
About an year ago, I went into the store, and noticed
her. She was in an aqauriam
with sawdust as substrate and rotting lettuce mixed in. Sawdust
was in her water, and all she had was a heat lamp which
was turned off most of the time. This animal is lager maybe
4 feet long. I wrote about this on a message board, and
a very nice lady actually went and talked to the owners,
and got some results. They owner placed a Iguana light,
changed the substrate to a astro turf (reptile kind) and
started feeding commericial food along with the lettuce.
The owners are not the friendliest people and I don't
do business with them, but in an emergancy they are the closets
place where I can get crickets (NOT FOR MY IGS!!!)
Every time I do go, I go see the iguana, she's still there
but they now have taken the heat lamp, and all she has is the
iguana light. A week ago I went in on one of my emergancy's
and noticed her, she looked terrible, poor
ig, has not had any natural sunlight for over an year and
a half! I asked the owner how much she wanted for her and
he said $120.00. I told him I would give him $100, he said
yes, so I went to the bank to get the money. When I came
back this @#$hole! said he wanted $250.00's!!! I was so
mad!! I told he just said 100 would be ok. He said " I no
say that". NO one is buying her, she needs a licence to be kept, her diet is specialized and the condition she
lives in is terrible!
The guy said, you want? you pay ! I just shook my head and left.
Can you just up the price like that? is that legal?
