    Well I'm glad the owner learned that frogs were not his forte. As for in a regular situation, it is a horrible truth that leaving the frog is the best option in the grand scope, because then the store would simply order another frog and treat it the same way, not learning a lesson.

    I have a habit of grabbing the manager, showing him/her the poor conditions the frog is in, and then commencing to tearing him/her a new one.

    Verbably of course.

    lol just wondering if the owners/managers try to disappear when you walk into the store? I mean they should know you guys by now
    lately i noticed that it is happening to me i wonder why lol
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Don't you love it when they finally eat! That's terrific news, glad he's settling in a bit now! The anxiety that ensues from pets not eating is probably the reason why I've never kept Royal/Ball Pythons (notoriously picky eaters), I don't think I'd have any hair left if I kept them

    Just a quick word on rescuing from pet shops, generally speaking, it is a bad thing to do. Yes, you do save the one animal, but as mentioned before, it does make them think that the bad care or neglect is completely acceptable, and it frees up another spot for them to get something else in to abuse. That being said, you said you knew the manager so fair dos, I'm not blaming you as I've done it before as well for a corn snake who's spine stuck out a mile from it's body. I had to deal with regurges and vet care, and she's fat and happy and healthy now, but it was a lot of work, time and money that I had to put in that I shouldn't have had to do if they kept the animal properly in the first place.

    I think in the long run, our hearts are just bigger than our brains at times

    Keep us updated on Tank's progress, with pics of course as he settles in more

    waytago Tank!! IMO worms are the best way to start out, nice, soft & moist. Goes in easy and comes out easy.
