I visited a local pet shop. I'm already not fond of the owner (a yahoo, fruitcake, illiterate, in it only for a buck kind of person). He had a dog listed as a pomeranian puppy $250. This dog was twice the size of my friend's full blooded and papered poms that are 2 years old. He has several reptiles and amphibians. He has a helmeted iguana in a 20 gallon tank w/one stick and about a half inch of water in the entire bottom of the tank. This poor animal was sitting in the water. The only source of heat was a 40 watt red party bulb. Apparently this water had been in this tank for some time because it had green algae growing in it. He also had an African bullfrog about 4 inches in size that was sitting in his water dish. The water in the dish was absolutely putrid. A sign on the front of the tank said "African bullfrog, will grow to 30 pounds." What an idiot. He had hatchling ball pythons in with very large adult ball pythons. I don't know why I go there, I guess just to make myself miserable and
make sure that I tell any possible customers of his what an idiot he is. He doesn't care squat about these animals and just wants to "move them" as fast as he can. This place is called Critter Lane in DeSoto, MO
