Maybe potential reptile owners should all agree that before purchasing a reptile from a pet store, we would like a clean bill of health signed by a veterinarian. If these health checks keep coming back negative due to inproper care in the store, maybe the employees will have to re-think their husbandry if they want to make a sale.

Perhaps we could reinforce this by suggesting this at the many reptile shows. Lots of people go the the reptile shows and become interested in buying a reptile. But more often, they end up at the pet stores the following week looking for what they saw at the show. If they were told at the reptile shows to ask for a "bill of health".....then we'd have more people fighting our battle.

just a thought.

by the way, thanks JJ for the descriptive note on the before and after status of halle. It may halp to diagnose other cases that we hear about here. Did halle have any of the other physical signs of MBD? Like the deformed limbs and such? Or the maleable bones? Was there any sign of jaundice on her exterior? Like yellow tounge or toes? (I'm not really sure in which fleshy parts it would show up in.)
Just wondering.
