Radical Reptiles - Stanton CA

When my husband and I were first getting into reptiles, we decided to check out some of the local reptile stores. One such store was Radical Reptiles in Stanton.

On our first trip, we noticed a few things that made us decide not to do business with them.

• The store reeked, and was so strong at points that I almost had to walk out for fear of being ill
• The cages were filthy, with substantial amounts of feces (both liquid and solid) in most tanks, and shed skin EVERYWHERE!
• Most of the snakes were soaking in their water bowls
• There were a few animals that looked as though they had mouth rot
• There were multiple species being housed in the same tank

We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt, and went back today to see if anything had improved.

• While the store still had a bit of an odor, it wasn't nearly as severe as our first visit.
• While the cages looked in better condition, we noticed that quite a few of their snakes had NO water, and the water bowl of their ball pythons, which was practically dry, was loaded with shed skins.
• We noticed at least one case of a snake that looked like it was suffering from mouth rot.

I just wanted to make sure that I shared this with the community, so that people who were looking to do business with this company could be aware of the condition of their store, and the animals that they sell.

Harald, if this guy posts one more time ignoring your warnings about the requirement for using his full name, just ban him and be done with it. He's obviously not interested in the rules here.
