Re: petco sux....
Thats rediculuse! He probobley did overlook you becuse of your age ( which isnt right). Does your mom, dad or any adult friend know anything about bp's? You could go back in there with them, if it was really that bad.

Re: petco sux....
You did the right thing speaking up. The one we have in this area is so so. I have never seen stuck sheds or mites on them, but i have seen one with blisters, and i wonder about the high humidity in the tanks. The ones here do have heat sources so i guess they arent all the same and the ambient temps seem to ok but i dont think there is much gradient in those lil ass tanks with the light over the center. Let me know if they respond to the email. Goodluck to change.

Re: petco sux....
We need more people to education others on proper bp care. Most of the time, people just don't know that they sre doing something wrong!

Re: petco sux....
So sad
There has been so many posts about Petco lately... So far I haven't spent a single dime at Petco for my snake's set up, and I hope to keep it that way.

Re: petco sux....
I guess i'm one of the lucky ones that has a great Petco. They actually have a reptile specialist on staff who also works at a zoo not too far from here. He is also a BP breeder so it's great to just go in and talk to him about the projects he has going on at the moment. I guess I should just stay in my home town!

Re: petco sux....
While I do understand stupidity, cursing him out and being rude does not get anything done. Some people you just can't talk to, because they don't want to listen. You shouldn't sit there and curse them out. That makes you look bad, and will get you kicked out of stores like above. I agree with you though that the conditions don't sound good at all.

Re: petco sux....
I agree, not only are the prices really high, but i once walked into a petco to find a bearded dragon dead in a spot of muddy sand, i was furious. but the next time i see that they have bad conditions ill ensure them a visit from dept. of heath or animal control. Id rather them not have anything than be killing the poor animals.

Re: petco sux....
I, like gknight, have a good petco. They have a solid display unit, with abover average sized tanks from what I can tell from other pet stores in town. I get my rats from there (lack of better place to get them from, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm open), and my (big) baby girl gobbles them right up. I've not seen a sickly, dropsey, or flea infested rat yet. Its also a newer store though, <5 years in operation. So that might have something to do with it. My local reptile store doesn't do mammals so they don't have a food supply for me.
