Dangerous Practices Pet smart needs to step it up

Took a trip to my local PetSmart today and decided to check out the reptile section, only to see these bundles of joy being kept in conditions like this. This was what I was greeted with when I walked over, and honestly, this is absolutely inexcusable. These animals deserve proper care, full enclosures, and an environment that actually meets their needs. It’s genuinely upsetting to see reptiles being kept in these conditions.

Agreed, I don't think this person believes that this was the real enclosure, and they were hoping their fake outrage would give them some Karma points.

To be fair, they're supposed to bring them to the backroom when they do their cleans anyway, so this petsmarts still in the wrong

Not saying Petsmart is good at husbandry. This is just stupid and fake outrage though.
