Petco Questions
I work at a Petco in Northern California and I have recently been arguing/questioning some of the things we do in my reptile department (I am the person who oversees it). Because of my constant nagging (hehe) my General Manager told me to write up a list of questions and she will send them to the "big vet" who decides what is right for the Petco animals and their habitats. So far I have questions regarding substrate (sand with small lizards, wet dirt with the snakes, etc.) and also the habitat setups in general (why no heat gradient, etc.). I am writing to him because I honestly want to know why we do things how we do them. If you guys could help me with some intelligent questions, that would be great. Right now I am only concerned with my reptile department because I am tired of putting soaking wet dirt in with the snakes (although I think we are now switching to aspen for them) and watching the leopard geckos swallow mouthfuls of sand. While my Petco is really good when it comes to animal care, we still have to follow planogram rules for habitats and I am trying to see WHY and if I can change it. So any help with questions for this high-and-mighty vet would be great. Thanks!
