: We were at PetSmart today, picking up some Dog
food, and Juby wanted to get a peek at the bearded
dragon baby that they had which I had seen last
week. We arrived, and immediately trolled over to
the little reptile section, and were disappointed
to see that the BD was gone. Somebody had
probably fallen in love with him, and off he went.
I was however, even more disappointed when I saw
a panther chameleon (beautiful, beautiful,
cham)that was in an enclosure that was not
properly humidified. The cham had some feces
stuck half in it's vent, which I believe was due
to the dry tank air. Next, I saw this scrawny
tiny little green basilisk, with huge lines on
it's sides, from dehydration, it was having a very
bad shed, there was absolutely NO water in the
enclosure, and the humidity was at 0%.As I'm sure
you guys know, Basilisk's need a high humidity
level. I was very distraught, of course, and I
promptly went to find someone to share my
concerns. I found one person, who sent me to
another person, who told me she'd take care of it.
Well she just stood therre, and didn't even go
over there to check it out. So I finally found
the manager, and he said that I was right, and
that it was difficult for him, because he didn't
make his way over to that part of the store very
often. I told him that that was kinda dumb! I am
going back to the store tomorrow, and I'm going to
ask him if I can possibly come in for a few hours
a week, to donate some time to keep the reptiles
in the store in proper surroundings. I doubt that
they will let me, but I am going to get all over
that store if something doesn't change. I feel
that all my rambling, and bi***ing probably won't
do any good anyways, but I can't just sit back and
watch that poor basilisk die.
