Store stinks. My 8 years old granddaughter is heartbroken. She bought 2 "feeder" goldfish. One died the first day and the second died the next day. I feel somebody should have warned her that there was no warranty on them. Apparently because they were feeder fish. Who knows. She has a gold fish as a gift and it has lived 5 days so far. Not going back.

I bought a baby corn snake from the Hampton Pet World and it only lasted 6 days, because it was sick. They gave us another one for free and it's the 10th day and it has symptoms of IBD. I have no other reptiles and I cleaned everything before getting the second snake, so there is no way it wasn't sick before I got it. The first and second snake were around the same age. When I bought the first snake, it was the last one there. When I got the second one, it was the last one too, so it should've have gotten sick. 

UPDATE:
My second snake just passed away... I'm never buying from Pet World again.

Will tell you lies to get your money, even if you've been a loyal customer for years.

a nice friendly, AFFORDABLE pet shop.
they have a nice selection of aquatics and supplies especially , and from what I can tell their prices are much lower than the major chains. all the fish I bought from their were healthy, and are still kicking strong. they also have a nice selection of tanks, stands, pumps, ornamental etc.. Their tanks really have GREAT prices.

I love the fact that it FEELS like a pet shop, and not some polished ,stamped die cut chain store. Maybe that's why they also have great prices! I will go their to support them as much as I can

I would have given this place no stars, or negitive stars, but Google doesn't allow that.  
I went in there in the past few days and I saw some terrible things.

First, they do have a fairly good selection of reptiles.  However, the ball pythons looked emaciated, sick.  There are 2 babies that looked like they hadn't eaten in several weeks.  The employee's escuse was that they were rescued from someone else and they had to be force fed.   I don't know whether or not to belive that they are being force fed or not, but if they are being fed, force feeding isn't a bad thing to help get a snake back to health.
Second, a couple of days ago my friend pretty much rescued a Leopard Gecko that was thin and sick.  She noted that he was in a tank with two others that looked the same.  When I went in there myself, they were not there anymore.  But I saw that that they had no fresh water, and their water bowl was a liquid soup of dead crickets.  I found ot odd that the other two were not there.  Beside the adult tank was a tank full of babies living in the same condition.  Though they looked much healthier.  
Third, almost all of the snakes didn't have any heat on them.  One adult, female ball python cleary had a respiratory infection.  Her mouth was open and she was trying to breathe.  Mucus covered her face.  When I asked the employee whatvwas wrong, even though I already knew, she reaponded that she was being treated for respiratory.  I find that hard to belive when she said that she had the snake for about a week, and she didn't have any form of heat, no fresh water, not the correct bedding for a sick snake, and had feces caked onto her.  And she was still for sale for about $90.  The employee also said tha she was agressive.  I asked her to take out the snake to see for myself.  She wouldn't dare stick her hand into the tank, but with me being experienced with ball pythons, I reached right in there and picked her up gently.  She didn't make an attempt to bite, she didn't hiss, she just wanted to crawl.  She was very active and if she wasn't so sick, she would make an excelent pet.  What I had gathered from that, was that rather than her being agressive, they were handling her aggressively, as I saw snake hooks not too far away from the tank.  

Those were just the worse cases.  There is much more to this.

If you care about reptiles or any animals like i do, I urge you to do one thing.  Instead of turning away and not buying from them, go in there and rescue these animals.  Tell your friends and family what you saw if you ever go in there.  It may be giving them bussiness, but a least you are doing the right thing.

I work for a different pet store myself in the Hampton area.  When I first started working there I saw much of the same conditions.  But because I care a lot about reptiles and animals, I made a change.  Now they don't look like that anymore.  You can make a change too.
