This! Not saying I'd go out and buy from Petco/Petsmart, I still prefer to buy from breeders that I know have a good rep in the hobby, but the local Petco here has a regular herp hobbiest as their reptile caregiver/expert, and they've got decent care for the animals. Most pet stores don't think to hire or train someone with this knowledge, but it doesn't mean that they never have a good knowledgeable employee who can shape things up.
