yesterday we went shopping to the mall (i hour away) and i had to stop at petco to get some reptile carpet for Roxy, anyways i went over to the snakes and they had this beautiful boa ! it was about 2 feet long,and super nice so the guy came over and i asked if i could hold it and he took two out, one for me and one for him and i asked him if he has any snakes of his own and he said he has a burmese and i was like ohh thats cool how big is she/he and he was like oh she is about three feet long, and i was like ohh yeah i like those but they get to big and he said ohh not really she will prolly only grow to be about 7 or 8 feet long :shock: , and i was like, no burmese pythons can be up to 18 feet long he was just like no i dont think so. that made me mad


then we went to the mall and i went inside the pet store and was totally disgusted, they had 8 beardies cramped into a 20 gallon tank with no hides.They also had a bunch of boas in a tank with a UTH inside the tank and a light sticking inside the tank whitch they could easly touch if they just lifted there heads(no hides in there either) and then they had three horrible looking burms one of them hadd his head tilted up really high and the other was really dehydrated. and then they had a pretty jungle carpet python in like a 75 gal, the snake was like 5 feet long and it had no heat in the tank at all and barely any substrate and there was flies in the cage

i wont even say anything about the geckos,frogs,birds or rodents, it would make me to sad :cry: OH how i hate that store, petco isnt all that bad over here its actually the best pet store around here but the only thing i noticed over there was that the BP's tank the eco earth was really wet in some spots and some of them looked a little skinny

anybody know anything about pac man frogs, i saw one and it looked really cool.

(sorry about my big ole rant, i dont know exactly why i posted this,but im sure alot of people can relate to crappy petstores like that one)
