Sure they care for SOME of their animals, but when I got to the reptiles section I was disgusted at how they kept them! They were keeping two adult crested geckos in with three OTHER different kinds of geckos/lizards. All shoved into the same little box! And you could tell the cresteds were stressed, they both had lost their tails. The box was probably a 6 inch box on all sides, and there was barely any room to move. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm almost 100% sure that different species should be kept apart.

They also had some of the snakes mixed together, the only one kept alone was the ball python. Same for the toads and frogs. I think this Petsmart had it all wrong

Maybe this isn't true for all of them, but obviously this petsmart wasn't in it for the good of their animals, and I'm sure it happens quite often.

I've never had an issue with anyone being rude about mice there, just because I don't buy them there. I go to Petco and they know me pretty well by now, they greet me by my name and ask what size mice I need and how many.

I've never had any employee at either pet stores be rude, but the care of animals at both are sometimes unsatisfactory for ME, I don't know about you guys.
In all honesty there are over 1000 stores it's not that easy to control over 1000 stores. If you think so become a district manager and be in control of about 10-15 stores. You have to visit each store almost every week. All I'm saying is this....if you see this then CALL the careline(aka corporate) or tell upper management as in the store manager. Don't tell the petcare associate they probably are doing what they are told by the petcare manager. Tell some one high up. Believe me, I have visited every store in out district which is 12 or 13, I can't recall and some were a little bit under my personal standards compared to our petsmart, but everyone wasn't doing as you just told me. Every store is NOT like the ones you have just explained. Believe it or not, they do care. When you have thousands of thousands of employees some people don't care and just working for that paycheck or they do care and have the wrong information. I absolutely agree that all of those animals shouldn't be in the same cage, AGREED. Now as the responsible customer which I hope you are, I hope at least you mentioned to someone that they should not be together.

People need to stop basing negative connections with 3-4 stores around them and hating all 1000+ stores. This was not directed soley at you by any means. I'm with Jaybunny here, but I honestly think it doesn't matter what we say.
