It's Eden it's in the quarry bend area in sandy!

I'll have to go check it out.

I would be careful it pissed me off going in there. I'm gonna talk to the owner if that guy can't get through to him I will be calling animal control and anything I can. It so sad in there.

You can't generalize to that extreme. Not all Petcos treat their animals in this manner. When I was first starting out, I purchased a corn snake from Petco. She turned out very healthy and is one of my breeders.
