well went to my neighborhood Petco tonight and wanted to check out their reptiles. Usually they are ok not great and i come away very disheartened. everytime I handle a snake they are cold. The redtail Boas were being quarentined last time I went cause thery had mites. Well this time they had not a one redtail. They had about 5 balls in a cage and I held one as i was putting them back I noticed that the 4 others had white heads and looking closer I saw that they were extremly wrinkled. The guy said that they were dehydraded and having trouble shedding he was going to have to hand shed them ... DUH I HOPE GIVE THEM WATER ALSO>> AND I HOPE HE SOAKS THEM BEFORE HE TRIES TO SHED THEM>.!!!!! I wanted to take all of them home. it made me sick. How do balls have a chance to get that bad???? Are they able to be rehydrated. Needless to say I will not buy one more thing from that store. It Was not very clean also and the reptiles did not look very good, the lttle leopard geckos had skinny tails and one looked not alive. The KID who worked that depart claimed he had snakes of his own and did rescues also. SCARY ....... Thats a little about my trip to petco. I have to say this though I had went to the EAST BAY VIVARIUM TODAY ALSO and it was the nicest well kept reptile store I had seen. THEY care about their animals!!!!!!
