My son and I just returned from Repticon Dallas. We went mostly just to support the show (we are not looking to purchase another animal) but picked up some frozen feeders and decor.
As I walked from booth to booth, looking at the various reptiles for sale, the thought occurred to me - such a bright and busy environment must be stressful for some of these animals.
I’m not trying to imply any neglectful or harmful intent by the breeders. I realize table space is limited, and the more of the animal that people can see the more interested they will be. It just got my mind wandering...
How can the stress of a show (travel, display, etc) be minimized for the snake?
