2013年7月18日 · I just wanted to post a mini-rant about petsmart. I purchased a veiled chameleon last week at petsmart. I've been wanting a chameleon for the past 2 years, and I finally committed. There is a local petstore called Preuss Pets, and they are SO knowledgeable and helpful and answer any questions...

2021年5月20日 · Really hard because you want to save the animal but also not feed the cycle. In the end, whether you save the animal or not it’ll be replaced by another one. Harsh cycle. Wish reptiles were viewed the same as Cats/dogs. If a cat was kept in horrible conditions it would cause outrage, I don’t know why it’s not the exact same with reptiles.

2009年5月21日 · Great ideas! Lets convince the government that even pet chains can't effectively handle reptiles in the pet trade and that banning them will be a good thing! Pet stores aren't designed to care for any animal for more than a week or two, and the conditions in a pet store are like heaven compared to how they're kept at any importer or wholesaler.

2012年10月23日 · So I went to Petsmart today, and found a female Jackson in aweful conditions! It was in a VERY small glass cage with no humidity... It had tons of stuck shed from being so dry! It had tons of kinks down its back & on its tail! The lady didn't know anything about it, and said that she needed to...

2022年8月18日 · Even if they do everything right, handling feeders and reptiles is a recipe for eventual contamination. I used to sell a lot of bugs, mainly roaches(I don’t anymore). There’s a lot of good places to buy online and forums meant for inverts/roaches/etc where people are selling. check the sponsors for the worms, flies, common roaches, crickets ...

2009年6月8日 · What you probably saw in Petsmart was Repti-aid. It is a specially formulated rescue food. The name similarities are very unfortunate. When the company that compounds actual "Reptaid" ordered the labels they asked us for …

2010年2月13日 · My job requires me to make fequent trips to various stores to buy items for people, and today I was at Petsmart so I ventured by the reptile section, and to my surprised they had a veiled chameleon. He appeared to be about 3-4 months old, and in poor condition. He was scrony, and being held...

2021年7月14日 · Reptiles Suffer, Left to Die at Another Massive PetSmart Supplier Mill Urge Petco to Stop Selling Birds, Reptiles, Fish, and Others It doesn't do any good to keep posting/venting here if you aren't willing to sign a petition, show up at a protest, or otherwise get involved to change the situation.

2013年7月11日 · Petsmart is also terrible. These stores disgust me. 4 days ago I was getting crickets and HAD to rescue a 4-5 month old veiled from its five gallon tank with a bowl of water and a desert like shrub. Temp gauge under its tiny heat light was about 80 degrees. They disnt even know w hat sex he was...

2016年1月28日 · If they insist on selling reptiles, they should be obligated by law to provide adequate conditions and education to buyers. Chameleon purchases should require the purchase of an accurate care book and perhaps buyers should answer a small questionnaire about how they plan to keep the chameleon.
