I’m so glad to have found what appears to be a responsible local pet store. I forgot to pay attention to what the reps were being fed, but will remember to check it out next time.

The one other thing I did notice was that the reps were on bark substrate. I have a feeling that stores do this so the cages don’t look "dirty" with droppings which show up and stand out more on paper. This does make sense, however any serious reptile owner knows that healthy poops are one sign of a healthy animal, so I may go back and try to talk to someone in charge in the future, or put together a packet they (who ever is working), can pass on to the owner/manager about the problems and complications bark substrates can cause. They appear to care about their animals, so I think they may actually consider it. Maybe I should put together some care sheets as well (at least for igs, & maybe other species) that I think they would be happy to hand out to those purchasing reptiles from them, as I would provide them to them free of cost.
