When i reported the shop in question the RSPCA admitted they know little about reptile health and well being but do have experts that they rely on to help them assess conditions. I was asked to make a log of the reasons for my complaint so returned to the shop and took notes of missing water bowls, sheds left in vivs, poor or no substrates, staff with little or no knowledge of the animals requirements etc (i did all this under the guise of buying an animal and doing research).
I then passed all this info onto the RSPCA, when i tried to return to the shop a week later it was closed.
Normal practice for the RSPCA is to give an enforcement/improvement notice and then return a while later to reassess. The fact that the shop was closed within a week suggests to me that either the shop had previous notices that hadnt been followed or the owner decided that the cost of the improvements was not worth paying. Either way the animals were moved out of the conditions and the shop could no longer pass on their poor information to others.
