Reptile shops...whaddya got in your hometown?

There's one just outside of my town in an even smaller town... I just found out about it and got so excited. I went to visit it and was less than pleased. Most of the animals were in decent health but the Savannah Monitors looked dead and dehydrated. The worst was a Hog Island Boa who looked dehydrated and appeared to be stargazing... It was completely unaware of our presence and its head was straight up. My heart sank and I left. Finally a reptile store in my area and it was a disappointment. How hard is it to keep your animals clean and healthy? To be honest, I kind of wanted to call the SPCA on them. Sorry this was sort of a rant.

I need to go out of town to the cities in order to go to the good reptile shops.
