    Tasha and I had bought 4 baby gartars. We had only had them for about 2 weeks so we don't have any pictures of them. But they died of a disease that the whole batch had caught from the pet shop they came from ;) Thankfully the shop has closed down now because of poor hygein. So I would like to say goodbye to Bob, Kenny, Taz and silvester.

    That is sad. Where are you located? We heard there was a pet shop in California that lost their entire reptile stock to a virus a few weeks ago :)

    We are from the UK. There are not many reptile shops around here, but when there is a shop that comes along most of the people have no clue on what to do. I know very little about reptiles on a whole but I seem to know more then a lot of the shops do and that is worrying.

    They were our first reptiles :) I was so upset when they had died. But they are burried at the bottom of the garden where they are safe. I complained to the pet shop and asked for my money back but they said they didn't do refunds. Thankfully they have closed down now.

    I think everyone is happy they closed down (except the people that worked there). All the animals that were still there before they closed have good homes now. Tasha and I have some of the reptiles that were there and they are happy and healthy. and our friends have the rest :) The only animls that died were all the snakes as they were all kept close together :)

    It is very sad. I can not beleive that the shop managed to stay open for so long. I can only guess it was because not many people round here know much about reptiles.
