Eric Pendleton (Backwoods Rolling Pets) in Russell Springs, KY
 

This is a warning/notification of the deplorable practices and character being displayed by Eric Pendleton, owner of the pet shop called Backwoods Rolling Pets in Russell springs, Kentucky. I came across a post made by him in a local Facebook group and decided to do some research since I had never heard of this shop before. The photos I found on the shop's FB page were disturbing, along with a video showing a Copperhead being kept in a bare glass aquarium.

Upon further investigation with the assistance of my friend Benny Tarplee I learned that this individual has had some major run ins with the law, being arrested for murdering his father allegedly and having also had another pet shop shut down in Springfield, KY (could not find the name of the shop).

Let this be a warning to everyone that this person is exactly the type we do not need in the hobby or our communities.

Looks like someone decided to do something about this shop.....

I'm glad they were able to rescue those animals. Horrible pet store!

Unfortunately the animals were released to a known scammer/neglectful flipper Brian Burnett (has a couple threads here on him under the name SPCL-G Morphs or something like that) who lives in the area....good chance he'll just try and sell them at the next local show.

Pulled this from FB today....

Hopefully they will end up in better homes at least.
