I hear some Petcos are okay though.

the petco by my house is great. they have one tank per snake (only had 3 bp's) had 2 hides, for each one, big water dish(half empty, though), with aspen bedding.

the 'reptile specialist' seemed to know what he was talking about, told me about temperature gradients, told me i'd need a thermastat (he hinted that i shouldn't get the one they sold there) explained the dis/advantages of live prey, and told me to keep only one per tank.

none of them looked to have mites, and they all looked pretty good.

I know of a petstore which is a horrible cruel place , i know someone who used to work there who left as she couldnt handle what was (is) going on up there and she had some horrible stories to tell first off the owner smokes all day long underneath the parrot cages , she has a blue and gold macaw up there in a ridiculously small crappy cage, covered in bird crap also she has a bald sulpher crested cockatoo which is in a ancient rusty cage also covered in crap with no toys whats so ever actually she hasnt got any toys in with any of her parrots
Once the owner was clipping a cockatiels claws the bird managed to turn around and bite her hard, so guess what that evil :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: of a owner did....she put the cockatiel in a plastic bag tided it up and threw it in the freezer :cens0r::cens0r: i mean wtf is the matter with people that why the girl i know who worked there left , now im a bloke and i was nearly in tears when i heard that , suffice to say i went up there and all hell broke loose , i also reported her to the r.s.p.c.a but nothing happened as usual (personally im not a fan of the r.s.p.c.a...never have been) she is still there working without a care in the world it make me so angry :cens0r::cens0r:

The RSPCA are more an "Animal abuse!? Is the animal in question really, realy cute and something that everyone likes? No? Sorry, no can do. Not that we can really do anything anyway" organisations.
