Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

Petcos can vary greatly from store to store
we have another smaller chain here - Petland Discounts - same deal
some stores are just awful with obviously neglected animals and others are amazing
it all depends on the store manager, I guess, and sometimes one good knowledgeable employee can make all the difference

The Petco and Petsmart in my area actually provide decent (even attractive) set-ups for their creatures. The supplies are cheap, which I guess is the case for any chain store. The only problems I've seen are mislabeling and some misinformed employees. I've actually seen worse situations in privately owned pet stores.

Same here. The petco near me recently moved into a new location and my lordy, this place is fantastic. The herp setup is amazing, the animals are very well cared for and healthy. There's a reptiles-only privately owned pet store here that I refuse to go in anymore because it breaks my heart. The condition of the animals is appalling due to terrible husbandry. Some of the animals are even dead, still lying in the tanks.

oh my, I just stumbled upon the mother lode of pricey toxic chemicals in one of my boxes - potassium chloroplatinite, and some other stuff, some of it unlabelled, but I can probably figure out what it is. I suspect, all I need is some hydrochloric acid and I'll be good to go - even found the lab notes
I can't believe I've shlepped this stuff along through something like six or seven moves over the course of a couple of decades - what now? am I really going to use it? does anybody do weird photo processes any more?

Here's an explanation from the video's maker:

It's been a dream of mine to take my wife around the country to see America before her Multiple Sclerosis really gets to her. She's already gone blind in her right eye.

Well there is a contest I am a part of where I can win $100k and I would use that money to get her mercury fillings removed, and buy our dream RV and truck to pull it.
