Being fair about PetSmart (and buying your ball python from them)

Wonder if theyre hiring...o-0

i think its max is 60watt, and i was skeptical about the whole need a powerful heatlamp thing cuz my house runs warm all the time :/ she wouldnt listen...i hate rethinking that cuz the more i think about it the more it feels pushy rather than helpful.

Yeah, I think they are trained to sell....and I have actually applied to my local one, hoping I could help change/improve their reptile department and possibly the fish department too. But I wasn't hired. Their loss...

[m3gz]

I prolly wouldnt be hired either. Even if their rodent department could seriously use my help. lol

[Craiga 01453]

They're missing out!

[m3gz]

no joke especially as theyre all in wood chips. BEYOND stupid.

I was PO'd the other day. I went into my local Petco and noticed they had a green tree python. I was amazed that they had something as "exotic" as a GTP. They had one plant on a reptile carpet. No perch, nothing for the snake to climb on. They are arboreal animals who spent the vast majority of their lives off the ground. This animal was stuck with no choice but the ground

Thats so sad D= in a situation like that idve prolly bought it just to help it.

[Craiga 01453]

If I had the cash and the OK from the girlfriend I would have thought about it, but they would have just filled the empty space with another animal

[m3gz]

Yes, but probably not another ground bound thing thats supposed to be free to climb. I hate pet shops, i really do. The animals sit in tiny cages that even the store itself doesnt recommend, and i dont even wanna think about what happens if no one ever buys them.
