Indonesian Garters and Petco

[infernalis]

Never seen one here either...

We used to buy our aspen, hides and such there.

I haven't been to the local petco in months... I keep meaning to get over there and see if there are any. And let me tell you, I will be taking pictures, dragging an employee over there, explain very clearly what they are doing is against the law and why I care so darned much, and getting corporate's info the moment I find one!!!

my petco here is ok, some of the ppl don't know what they are selling or doing. But I go when this one girl works there, she knows her stuff.

As for Petsmart, they are always out of things I need. I love the one here the one guy who works in the small animals, reptiles,birds, knows his stuff too.

I applied at Petsmart, they never returned my calls nor said anything about my application. It's their loss!!


I am sorry the employee was rude... my petco, the ppl there are rather friendly!! Maybe complain about the employee, for her being rude.
You are the customer, you are always RIGHT... well that is what they say!!

There used to be a herp guy at my local petco too, till he moved on and they reduced their herp section. I still stop in every once in a while hoping to find a keelback but they haven't had "garters" for a while. I really stopped going there once I got my bulk shipment of frozen mice.

Me too, $1.75 for one frozen pinky is a bit steep especially when I go through a few hundred of them a month

It's a shame you had to return the snake, Lynsey. You'll soon find yourself a 'real' Garter Snake.

Lyn, I would absolutely definitely follow up with a letter to corporate. You have pics of the keelback. Do you still have your receipt? Send copies of both and explain the problem. Also explain the lack of customer service or care for the animal. My Petco does not carry these, either, or I'd be in there with my camera too.

We will be sending a letter to corporate. Unforortunately when we took the snake back I didnt get the receipt back. When she asked if I wanted it I just said no and walked out. Dang. I guess they could print us out a new one. I'm also thinking about going back and taking a pic of the tank with garter label. It's going to have to wait until this weekend but we will do it

Thanks everyone for your advice and concern

Just be careful that the camera don't get you into trouble.
