So me and my girlfriend were at petco (I know I know) to pick up some fake plants for my BP's enclosure. Whenever we go there, we like to check up on the animals and make sure they are all in good condition and whatnot and just see what new things they have in. My girlfriend noticed that the corn snake tank had its water dish emptied out and tipped over, and all of the hides and stuff were taken out of the tank (this is what petco does when the tank is empty) even though there was still a very alive corn snake in the tank....
This really upset me, so I walked up to an employee and said to her "excuse me, in the corn snake tank you guys tipped over the water dish and took everything out of the tank and there is still a corn snake alive in there."
The employee looked at me like I was on crack.... I just stood there and stared back, she quickly walked past me and over to the tank and said "Oh my god thank you so much for letting me know."
SHe turned the water dish back over, and filled it up with water. The corn snake IMMEDIATELY slithered up the dish and I saw the poor little guy start pounding tons of water. It made me wonder how long that poor little thing went without water. I am not a big fan of corn snakes, but this really made me angry.
I just wanted to post this and let all of you guys know that I saved this little corn snakes life, and petco is a complete joke. No one knows what they are doing and they are nothing but a big overprice pathetic corporation and dosn't care about hteir animals at all. I hope someday this lady gets kidnapped and forced to live without water for 48 hours so she can feel what its like.
Okay end rant.... lol
Bottom line = please don't support any places like petco. They don't care for animals at all. Buy your animals from a place with a good reputation that actually takes care of their animals and does not treat them like products.
