I'm shopping with the kids at an open air shopping mall. To get warm I stepped in here. There is a guy looking into a tank with five Russians in it. He is wanting to get one and talking to the teenager working here about how should he take care of it. They are taking about it sharing a "tank" with a red ear slider!!! I need to keep my mouth shut but I can't so I just walked over and said to him that a tortoise. Isn't something that shod be an impulse purchase. I said they can be great but more complicated than he might realize. She is now talking about how it likes to walk around where its warm and likes to play in the water but it shouldn't get in too much....I need to get out if here before I I freak out... These are living creatures here in pet stores. There needs to be some kind of regulation with the employees and who can give advice in a particular department. This little girl means well but I don't think she has even read the little leaflet sitting here!
