I used to be anti-pet stores, anti-zoos and even a vegetarian. I've mellowed and relaxed. I understand the urge behind pet shop purchases and I think its a human desire to fix something or help. Maybe people get in over their heads but so did the pet store probably.
I've been lurking for a long, long time. I've read happy stories, sad stories, and have been grateful for the wealth of information I have received just by reading.
Perhaps I was too harsh.
I'm happy you shared and decided to post. I think I read almost every post on Veiled's when I was lurking, and some of the stories I thought. " god I hope that doesn't happen to my Cham!", but so far iv had one swallow her tongue (a huge wtf moment) and a WC pass away, which broke my heart, a rescue with an infected foot and mouth rot ( he was given to me in this condition) iv spent around 2500 in food, vet bills, bugs and enclosures in the last 6 months, and my god I'm still here perusing the classifieds!!!!
Aaaaaannnnnd I just bought a beardie!!!
Some would say I'm obsessed, but honestly there is nothing more rewarding than taking care of these little guys and loving them in the condition they come to us in. Which in my case is usually half dead. But I love them all. Even Hoggle the mean WC who hated my guts. I cared for him deeply, but love and good intentions can't cure everything. But it's a start. And it's what brought most of here in the first place--good intentions.
