Hello
I am writing this as an informative thread on the scales and tails reptile shop in Ormond Beach, FL. I recently went in there to see what they had and was just horrified. The moment you walk in, you are hit with this horrible odor of urine and feces. The owner has hundred of snakes and lizards and such. I'd say about 90% of his animals had no water, I'm not saying a little bit left, I'm saying so bone dry there was dust in the water dishes. I informed him of this and he shrugged it off saying, there is always someone without water. That shouldn't happen! Especially not to the majority of the animals! Also, in most of the tanks there was multiple feces or sheds and it was very obvious the tanks hadn't been cleaned in quite a long time. Most of his reptiles were underweight and sickly looking. He also had an albino raccoon in a tank that was just pacing around and looking so tormented AND a ring tailed lemur in a tank in the back room, the reason I mention these is just because of the fact that they looked so sad and almost deranged. It was all just appalling to say the least. Needless to say I did not purchase anything and will not be returning. I encourage anyone to please not give this person your business. Thank you.
