Reptiles and birds come from brokers/importers. PS - None of the animals come straight from the breeders except for the rodents/small animals. Reptiles and birds come from brokers/importers.

I call it the beginner petstore - beginner employees and beginner customers (yes, it was my first petstore job too until I realized how stupid the head office is). I actually quit after 2 years after an argument over how they were caring for the uromastyx. That being said, you should do your research before you buy an animal, not after. It's not fair to the animal.
