This may be a long shot, but what about trying to encourage the employee's that are responsible for caring for the herps at petcos to get involved with local herp societies so they can see where the concern is coming from , instead of trying to gather up ammo to use against them, why not try and proactively make some attempt to educate them.
If some of us went to our local petco's and became aquainted with some employees(as some of you already do) and let them know about herp meetings, and websites such as this one, maybe they will make a conscious effort to take proper care of their critters. Many of them propbably take some degree of offense to someone trying to tell them how to do their job, when they really dont know any better. I think it would be good to let them know that they are not unwelcome in the reptile community.
If anything is to be done to influence them on a corporate level, it should be for proper training and reference materials for their store managers to make available for their workers.
If you can convince higher up's at Petco to provide that for each store, then the animals may have a better chance from the start.
It would also prevent issues such as this.
Granted this will probably never happen, but it makes alot more sense to me then to post up pictures of the conditions and what the animals may look like.
There could be legal implications to such a thing, and I would definately get legal council before posting up pictures from their stores, if it is an animal you have brought home, that is a entirely different matter.
ok , there is my .02
