Wtf petsmart!!!!

So I just went to the PETSMART in Indianapolis Indiana and looked at the poor BP they had, and the tank was at 115 degrees! Humidity at 20%! Wtf! The poor little guy was laying in the water bowl to try and stay cool. There has to be something we, (the reptile community) can do to help these poor snakes!! Again WTF?!?!?!

You should tell them right then and there that they are going to kill that Snake. I dont know if legally you can do anything but maybe try notifying somebody about that.

When I noticed that the snakes at my local pet store had mites, I let an employee know. The mites were gone by my next visit. Since then I have also noticed other small changes, like temps and humidity that are within a more reasonable range. I would suggest that you speak to a manager about your concerns, and then follow up in a few days to make sure they followed through on their end.

Its probably not actually 115 degrees in there. Those stick on thermometers are notorious for being inaccurate, and
that one looks like it is only a few inches away from the heat bulb, so it is probably reading way hotter than what the temp
is on the cage floor.

Might not be that hot throughout the cage since that dial was right at the top next to the crappy light bulb, but yeah, typical bad chain store care. No telling if the dial was even accurate anyway.

Yes agreed. Although I don't know if I got lucky, but my analog is incredibly accurate.

I told 2 of their employees and they said "we will check it out" and walked away like it was nothing. I just wanted to throat punch them!!

The thing about some Pet Store employees is they work there because it provides a paycheck. Simple as that. Not sayin all are like that but alot dont care about the animals.

I really hope it's not that hot in there. I guess the response I got pissed me off. It was like I was bothering them for saying something.

It seems to me that the smaller businesses get better employees. Once you hit the big city, well your totally right they just don't care.
