All the Petsmarts and Petcos around here do very well and keep their animals clean and cared for. (Clean bedding, reptiles have hides, correct humidity/temps, etc)
That's the exact reason why I would like to apply to the Petsmart here in Flagstaff . They do a pretty decent job with taking care of their herps, but I've noticed they've recently hired someone new for the herps/fish (when the fish guy isn't working). So! I would love to do my part to educate those searching for a new friend and also provide proper care for the animals.

My roommate has run into people on small animal forums that are attempting the same; getting hired on at Petsmart so they can apply their knowledge to the care of the animals.

I must admit, though...I'm not a fan of the Petco here in Flag :S we've alerted them to spoiled food being on the shelves and bad living conditions for reps and hammies alike. u.u I really wish they would hire people who cared about the animals at that store.
