    Petco pic contest 2

    Yah know. This pic contest gave BG an idea. People are always complaining about the deplorable conditions that reptiles are kept at Petco. This gave BG one of his many brainstorms(has them 24/7). Big Gunns thinks that's exactly what we should have. A Petco pic contest. Although what we do is take pics of the lousy reptiles and how they're being kept at Petco. If we post all these pics all over the net.....starting here....then maybe they'll get the message.

    So people. Get the cameras ready and go to the local Petco and start snapping. Make sure you get a good pic and name the Petco you went to including the manager. Somehow Big Gunns thinks they'll get the message that Reptiles should be taken care of just like their cats.

    BG will say this though. There are a couple of Petco's that BG goes to in a couple different states. Both honestly do keep their animals in good condition.

    Hi,

    Just to state the obvious.

    You should check if the store allows the taking of pictures to avoid getting into trouble.

    yes. BG, I used to work at a Petco. They didn't allow anyone to take pictures. They would ask you to put your camera away or leave.

    Re: Petco pic contest 2

    You could get away with it at the petco by me. I've never seen more than two people working, no matter how busy it gets, and the one time I went there for mice and crickets it took an hour. Most of the time there's only one person working a register. Boy, would I love to get some pictures of the condition of their reptiles, talking to the manager several times seems to have had no affect

    Camera Phones are a good invention =P
    I've taken a picture the odd time if there's something really interesting.

    I'm a former associate as well and it depends on the manager, and that is only if they catch you. The reason they say no pics is cuz of their "trade secrets," Petco sucks they need to be shut down, they put baby dragons and geckos on sand and most of the time their snakes are never handled and mean. I support this project!

    So you take the pic and then leave. What do you think they're gonna do have you arrested? Yeah that would be great for business. Just wait until nobody is around and start snapping away. It's not like it's gonna land yah in jail you wimps.
