I went there to buy my little brother a leopard gecko. They said they didn't have any. Well, I looked into a cage and saw one curled up inside an empty water bowl. I told them and they insisted they didnot have any until they saw it. "oh. There is one back here.I din't know that"They hadn't fed it in a week! When we got it home it ate like crazy! Arrrgh! So inhumane!
