Really?? At Petco???

[Sauzo]

I gotta say, the new-ish girl at my local store is actually pretty knowledgeable. I had a good 10 minute chat with her the other day and she knew her stuff pretty well. She gets frustrated that she's limited by management as far as what she can do to help troubleshoot and improve conditions, but clearly cares and it shows with her interaction with customers.

Anyway, @sunnieskys, it's good to see more good employees like you working there and being an asset to the company, the customers and most importantly, the animals.
I just wish employees like you you were more the rule than the exception.

As alway, thanks for being one of the good ones!!!

I havent stepped foot in a Petsmart or Petco in i dont know how. I usually end up getting pissed off at either how stupid the employees are or the excuses they give for not keeping their reptiles set up correctly (in the case of someone knowledgeable, corporates fault).

when is the next Reptile Rapture event or whatever it's called? i'll try to come hangout and skool your staff and customers.




this pix is from Sept 2015. i was driving Miss Daisy (my boss lady) and had time to kill while she was in a meeting, so i stopped by the Petco next to the Tacoma Mall. they had a Shiny GTP! i don’t remember the price, there was a low branch decor, it seemed in fair condition but it was on the ground. it looked super humid and there a few pieces of shed as u can see.

That is still a pretty piss poor setup. I mean how hard is it to make a little perch with a dremel, a couple stick on cable clamps and a piece of oak dowel. Or even an over sized PVC one is better than nothing along with a little plastic plant to give it security. That GTP is grounded so it's either too hot (which i doubt), pregnant (which i doubt), or is stressed (which i think). GTPs seem to stress pretty easy and i wouldnt be surprised if that snake didnt eat and dies within a month. I mean heck, i was worried about getting Pat as i heard horror stories about keeping GTPs but after having Pat for almost 5 months and seeing him go from a little 12 inch about as thick as a Bic pen baby to now about 2 feet long and a little over a 1/2 inch thick, I found GTPs really arent that hard to care for if you just give them essentials which really isnt too much. Knock on wood of course.
