So I was just killing time at a local petstore (nature) in the mall. I was looking at the snakes and saw a young boa, I took a closer look to see it dead, its whole body covered in mites, and I mean entire body coverd, it was horrible. It looked like it had been dead for a week. It looked like it was trying to bite its self too, and died in that position. So I told the supposed fish and reptile guy, and he says thanx sir. I was disgusted with the place.
that is sick, i would have made a bigger deal about it then that. did you try going to the manager or anything?
That is really disgusting, I wonder how some of these pet stores even stay open. I am with thepogona on this I would let someone know about how this store treats their animals.
yeah if it had a case of mite that bad i would think it could easily spread them to the other animals.
