Well, here's where things stand now: the guy from the animal protection agency came to my house today to look at Talyn and Q. (Comparing them is the easiest way to see how bad Q looks.)
Basically the guy was sweet, but had NO CLUE about snakes. (He admitted that he was mostly here to learn from me and even asked if he could call me if another "snake problem" came his way!) He seems to think I'm an exotic animal expert just because I provide proper care for my animals and know why I'm doing what I'm doing: like having a temperature gradient, hide boxes, feeding F/T and keeping detailed records!
(You all that were here and read my desperate posts back in September, October, November AND December can start laughing your tails off now!!!
)
Well, I've made a "friend" in the animal protection dept, but I'm not sure he'll be able to do much about this pet store. He said he'd do everything he can to get one of the city officials to make an inspection at least.
I'll let you know if I hear anything more about it. I did what I could-- it's out of my hands now.
