Way to go Petco!!

[bigslimrich]

The other day i went into Petco, and one of the small bp's looked terrible!! His skin was white and crusty from needing to shed and having no humidity, (there were about 8 bp's in a 10 gal. tank, 1 water bowl and 1 hide) so me and my friend were looking at bedding for his bp and an older guy that worked there came over and asked us if we needed help, i imidiatly said that i thought one of the bp's was in bad shape, and he went over and checked them out (while he was there i had him let me hold a red tail boa, new to the store here in B.G.) so anyway he went and soaked the bp after i said something and helped him shed, and changed the water etc., and THEN i went in there the next day, and the first thing i saw was that same guy over at the reptile tanks tending to the bp's!! they all looked real good for a change, and even though they only have one hide they seem much happier. I hope me saying something helped some, and if i have to i will say something every week when i go in there! (sometimes i go in just to kill time at work, so it may be a couple of times a week) Anyway thanks for listening, just wanted to share what i thought was a success story!

Sounds like he's a good fellow, nice to see petco changing it's ways. I've heard it's part of their plan to stop being such a crappy store because PETA is on their butts.

It would be even better if they'd separate them or provide adequate hides, but monitoring humidity is at least an improvement.
