Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 132741" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>Honestly Ive bought from petstores before, and if something catches my eye, I will again. I scored a big pretty female porteri, my male B boehmei, 3 avic versicolors, a GORGEOUS female C marshalli, and a gbb sling from petcos, petsmarts, and mom/pop petstores. Only one of those stores were keeping them wrong/poorly (a petsmart in Corpus Christi.) The rest had soil, hides and water, in large terrariums. I think hobbyist influence may be spreading, I don't see poor conditions much down here..the sad fact is there will always be people who just think of them as bugs or pests, though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
