Theresa Welch, owner of the Kritter's Den, left, places her arm gently around the back of her daughter Ashley Chatfield, 16, right, who cleans a variety of terrariums containing iguanas, lizards, snakes and tarantulas at the pet shop in Festus, Missouri, Tuesday, September 29, 2009. As much as Welch would like to hire additional help to staff the shop, she is unable to afford the cost. Therefore, various members of her family contribute after school or in between jobs.
