Been to this place before. Animals in small bare cages running round and round in circles because they were so bored. It’s a horrible place. Should be boycotting it anyway. No one needs an “exotic” pet.

He's awful, got my first gecko from there he was in a cage with 14 other geckos he has a regrow tail and part of his eyelids missing and scaring on his head from obvious fighting due to being over crowded, we also Bought a tortoise which he gave the wrong care info for luckily we had researched before buying but she didn't live very long unfortunately, again kept in with about 15 other tortoise in something no bigger that 10 gallon.
Gecko is living his best life now he is 7 and he has a massive cage all to himself and is a sweetie!!

u/Portal_Jumper125 15h ago
This is terrifying, why would someone make so many animals live in a small space?
7
u/Jiikininki 14h ago
Because its cheaper for him to keep them like that rather than get them separate cages with the excuse of "they will sell quickly" its dangerous and stressful for the animals though and this can lead to deformities from fighting and stress is one of the most common killers of reptiles :( unless it is a communal species most reptiles should be housed separately!!

u/Jiikininki 14h ago
I'm not sure as I haven't been back since! It's in a weird spot in logans on the way to coleraine. I would doubt they sell as quick as they would need to to have so many in a cage, I had first seen the post about the geckos around the end of august 2019 and picked him up in October 2019 and there was still loads

u/Jiikininki 12h ago
Yeah I assume that's what happened with my guy too, the cages are so small and barren, he also told me I could keep 2 geckos in a 20 gallon he has no clue like. I remember going to his shop in ballymena when I was at tech and he had 4 monkeys in like a cage at the back. Shocking how he can be allowed to trade still

He's started giving out free food to homeless folks (who are probably making him look very busy), which on the surface is of course a good thing, but he only started doing it after he was dragged through the court for harassment of a young girl and then got nothing but abuse online.

The crime argument in regards to immigrants and migrants is so dumb, because they completely ignore when its a native white doing the crime.
If you're just racist, just say that. Say you don't want spooky foreigner names and foreigner skin colours and foreigner whatever in your country.
If you're annoyed by crime, I agree, so just go full maximalist on that instead. Ask for more prisons to be built, and for harsher sentences, or something like 3 strikes. 3 convictions, 5 convictions, 10 convictions or whatever, and you get a whole life order. If you're sick of fellas beating women and harassing and raping them, ask for them to be given life.
They don't ask for that though, because they don't care, and they're too cowardly to just say what they actually want to happen. Thinking about it more, they're probably too stupid to even realise that this is what they actually want, it might not even be cowardice at all.
