Numerous animals were observed laying in the restricted shadow of shade available to them in their enclosures (approximately 8 feet by 10 feet) during the inspection. Inadequate protection from direct sunlight has the potential to cause eye damage and may affect an animal's ability to thermoregulate without the ability to access shade. In addition, inadequate shade may restrict the animals from utilizing the full enclosure space. The licensee was asked by AC personnel if there was a plan for correcting the lack of shade for all of these animals. He stated that he had no plan and that the "new owner" would have to fix it. Shelter from sunlight is required when overheating or discomfort of the animals is likely.
