I do need to say here, that there really is no end to saving snakes from petco
you can bet that the moment this one gets rescued from them, they'll get another one to mistreat
it would be much better to get them educated, if there was any hope of that
but there are laws concerning appropriate treatment of animals and when it comes to businesses that aren't interested in learning what it takes to keep an animal appropriately, I am not shy when it comes to reporting them
incidentally, Petco has a garter snake care sheet that says nothing about crickets, and I'm sure it's available to their staff
we've written to petco before - about mislabelling - and the results seemed to be mixed

I'm applying for a job at petco, with the objective of providing proper care to the animals and proper information for customers.

Maybe if I put together a portfolio of caresheets and information about all the reptiles and amphibians they sell it would give me a better chance of getting hired. fat chance though...

there are people like you working at some petcos
I think it all depends on the management of any particular store
good luck

Go to the thread titled ????? Rescued... I could not live with my self any longer knowing that they are killing the snake and there does not appear to be anyone else on here that lives in the bay area that could take it in.

I'm working on applying at petco to. I'm getting to know the staff and have already schooled the " reptile certified " lady there several times in basic reptile husbandry. Hopefully next time the manager will be there when I confront them on why they are giving crickets to snakes.
