No, they don't, it is for money. :( However, both the Petco and the Petsmart near me have reptile savvy people who know their stuff. It's a nice change. There are some other big box pet stores near me that every time I check in on their snoots, I have to consider whether or not it's in my budget to rescue them all. I mainly say rescue about Courage because he ended up hunger striking for nearly two months after we got him, and only finally ate when offered live. Big box pet stores will never offer live, so he likely would have starved if I hadn't bought him. On the plus side, we happened across him during a 50% off sale so we got a banana ball python for $90! Not complaining about that!
