Oh man... Another post about how Petco is evil... You went there to buy something so you're obviously supporting the same horrible store you're writing about. If you're really that concerned, then volunteer at the store once a month and help them improve their condition. I'm sure the workers getting minimum wage there arent educated in depth about every single animal in the store. If it upsets you enough to write a whole post about it, then you should help them out.

For people who complain about multiple snakes in one enclosure, please calm down. If you expect any retail store keep each snake in an individual enclosure, you probably still believe in Santa. Even in mom and pop stores keep multiple snakes because it's cost effective.

Now the other thing that really grinds my gears (lol) is the price complaints. Just because you can get a Normal for $10 bucks off a breeder at a show or Fauna, that does not mean that's what people should pay for them retail. Next time you're at any pet store (big or small) ask them what their monthly rent is. I don't know if people know the difference between retail and wholesale or they just choose to ignore it. Ask any breeder how much it costs and how long it takes to produce one clutch. Now add another $5k-10k/month to that.

Anyways, im done with my rant. Say what you will but at the end of the day, stores are a business and they're there to make money. If you don't like them, them don't support them. That means not buying ANYTHING from them.

PS:If you're so concerned about the care of snakes at a retail store, then you should google what third world country makes your clothes. Most of them use child labor under horrible conditions. Just saying...
