i feel soo sad about petco on a regular basis. my first rescue which, i just brought home eight days ago is from petco. he was in terrible shape with a broke neck when he was rescued. yesterday i went to petco to get some moss and there was a ball up for adoption. they had put his tank with no heat or good hides on a table next to a rat that was up for adoption!!! both animals were freaking out. the poor rat was running back and forth huffing and puffing. the snake was a mess and actually in shed with out a moist place. ugh!! so guess what i rescued another ball. when we picked him up they told me he may have mites because they are having a problem with mites. imagine bringing that home unbeknownst and infecting all of your herps. so i have two balls now to rehabilitate. they are going to be wonderful to have. i can not take any more, but i know there are hundreds out there. it really pisses me off. a friend just told me about a shop that was selling red sliders that were stuck in a tank with other turtles that had died and were decomposing!!! i am going to check them out and see if our herp society can do outreach with them to raise the condition of living at least. there is got to be something that can be done for these poor creatures.
