around here the petsmart is pretty good. most of the people that work there know nothing about reptiles BUT they are very willing to learn! i had an hour long descussion about leopard geckos with one guy and about two months later he was selling a leo to someone and he remmebered what i had told him! their animals normaly look pretty good. the balls have large water dishes for humidity, even the leos get a humid hide. the only problem i have with them is the way the keep their uros but thats another story. every petco i have been in SUCKED!! the local store called animal suppy SUCKS even worse than petco! none of their animals are kept right plus the store smells somthin bad... also i have never bought reptile from petsmart. i always get them from friends or shows.
