I have never had a good experience at a petco either. The employee's do not have a clue about anything to do with any of the animals. That just shows that the company doesn't bother to train their employee's to be knowledgeable. So, the sad part is that along comes some customer who also doesn't know anything about said animals but buys one anyhow, going off of petco employee's info. Then said animal isn't cared for properly. That just isn't fair to the animal. I personally would never buy an animal from them, I stick with the breeders or local herp store.
