Paul's Reptile Circus/Paul Larosa - Sickening Husbandry & Neglected Reptiles

This guy is a hot mess. How can you post pics of your animals in those conditions. Have some dignity man. Keeping any animals in those conditions is a nice invitation for infectious bacteria, fungus and so on..Thanks for bringing this thread on to this forum..

Darn! If I had know that it was so easy, I would have done it a long time ago. I thought only Dennis Hultman and a few other people knew how and it was top secret...

Dennis has amazing trackdown skills, I agree.

It blows me away when people think this is an acceptable way to treat their animals. I wonder if he's ever read a single thing about reptile husbandry, or if he just assumes that if they're still breathing he's doing it right?

Thanks for posting this Shannon, it's really troubling and the fact he said he's been in business since 2002 and this seems acceptable to him? I feel like most have probably had a rough or bad week or an emergency situation or what have you and a cage or more got away from them, but if that happened my first thought would be "OMG how could I let this happen" then fix the problem immediately, not, "oh what great pics to post on facebook."

I cannot believe that this person uses these pics to show everyone how "good" he is at caring for animals. He is despicable!! He should be forced to live in the same conditions that he has sentenced these poor critters to endure. I sincerely hope that he remedies the situation and becomes a caring critter keeper soon. Somehow, I doubt it though!!

Some people never cease to amaze me!!

It is horrible that these animals have to "survive" under the bad conditions that Paul feels is acceptable.
I truly hope Paul comes around and that these animals end up seeing better days (be it that Paul gives the animals the proper care they need or that the animals end up with someone else who will give them proper care).

It further troubles me that he does ~educational~ reptile shows for children (or anyone for that matter). Considering how he keeps his reptiles, and some erroneous things he has said/written, I can only imagine what misinformation he might be "teaching". Nobody should be doing educational shows unless they know what they are talking about and have all their ducks in a row.

Those pic's made may stomach turn.

All I have to say is Disgusting I have not seen animals so improperly cared for since hoarders

Those photos are beyond digusting and disturbing. They are total proof of neglect and abuse! You want to help?
