Reptile abuse! Boycott all chain pet stores!!!
Whenever I go to my local chain pet stores, such as PetCo or PetSmart, I am thouroughly disgusted by the condition of the reptiles there. Temperatures wrong, humidity wrong, too-small cages, dirty cages, etc. And, most of them are imported. It is absolutely revolting. Furthermore, the majority of the employees know little to nothing about basic care for these creatures.
This is why I am begging everybody not to support chain pet stores such as PetCo. Except for live rats, I order everything I need for my beloved girl online at reptilesupply.com, and I get my beloved girl and my soon-to-be pet bearded dragon from a vivarium that actually knows how to keep reptiles healthy.
I beg of you all, please avoid these pet stores as best you can!! I know, cricket/worm/mice/rat orders may not turn up in time, requiring a trip to your local pet store, which I'm sure has happened to all of us, but please do your best to avoid these vile places!
