My daughter works for Petco, and they are very good with their reptiles. They have a wellness room where any ill or injured animal is kept in isolation. They keep their reptiles clean and fed well, they have a reptile manager who is in charge of only reptiles and a vet who comes weekly, since she is not a reptile vet they will use the reptile vet that we have locally. They never have more then 2 bps at a time . They do have a houdini of a corn snake though. It keeps escaping and they keep finding it ,. The reptile manager says she might just as well buy it herself, cause it spends more time roaming the store then in its cage, but its such a pig, its always comes out on feeding day. Its becomming the store pet. For the life of them, they can't figure out how its escaping.
My daughter and i just call it houdini, so thats slowly becomming its name. Petco is a corperete run co. but it's run by individual managers, and if a manager cares the store is good, if the manager is bad the store is bad. Their training is extensive in all types of animal care so its not the training its the people. Some people should never be allowed to work with animals. The only way the store will change is if you contact the corperate office and tell them you will turn this store into your state agency if there is no improvments.
