Closing Statement

I opened Dave's Dragons in November of 2008 as a fulfillment of a life-long obsession with reptiles. This also happened to be during the start of the worst economic recession in decades. Nevertheless we were able to successfully grow this business over 300 percent in the first 3 years. We had a very loyal and satisfied customer base and continued to draw in new people from al

l over New England including Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts. Around 2016 an inspector from the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture began writing us up for extremely petty reasons including worn out flooring and dust and cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. She continued this campaign of harrassment for the next 3 years, even though they had NEVER received a single complaint about our store from anyone ever. Meanwhile other pet stores, some who had terrible records of public complaints, were allowed to continue business without the kind of harrassment I was subjected to. Interestingly we were the only minority owned pet store under that department's jurisdiction. My son started an online petition to stop the state from pulling my license on change.org which gained over 700 signatures in just a little over a week. Unfortunately, the state would not relinquish and finally took away my license to sell animals in 2019 effectively putting me out of business permanently. I'm keeping this page active as a memorial to the store and a testament to a racist department of the state of NH.

Please continue to help and share with everyone you know. Matt and his family still need help paying their monthly bills after he was forced to resign from the police department (which was done illegally) and the state denied his unemployment benefits. The police department told the unemployment office he left because of disability. Meanwhile the state's insurance is refusing his disability claim so he cannot collect disability payment or even touch his retirement benefits. It is extremely unfair and depressing what they have done to him. They will lose their home and everything because of this. PLEASE help any way that you can. Thank you!

Please help my son, Matthew Yao, who many of you remember from the store. Soon after he became a police officer he was involved in a suicide-by-cop shooting that has left him severely scarred by PTSD and depression. He needs special treatment that is not covered by insurance and the town and state have refused to provide any assistance. We have exhausted our resources on previously unsuccessful treatment and are at our wit's end. Any little bit you can donate will be put 100% towards his treatment. Thank you!

This isn't reptile related but if you're in the Manchester NH area please consider donating some warm clothes, tents, sleeping bags and any other much needed items to the Waypoint Center on Chestnut St in Manchester. They help homeless youth who are out on the street through no fault of their own. Please give whatever you can to these young ones in need. Especially during this severe cold. Thank you! https://waypointnh.org/

Waypoint, formerly Child & Families Services of NH, empowers people of all ages through an array of human services and advocacy.

'Tannin' loves her insects, this promotes stimulation and a great feeding response and goes to show that Monitor lizards never get too large to eat insects. :)
