| Oh wow that's a lot of geckos lol. I know where to go for advice now lol |

| Beardies are awesome. I had one years ago named Shrimp. I now just have crested geckos but I used to own like. 20 leopard geckos lol |
| QualitySH |
| Versa I understand that. I really dislike people who view them as 'disposable pets' gives me the ick |
| QualitySH |
| My husband and I wanted an interactive reptile we could bond with so that's why we went with a beardie. I dont hold my house gecko cause I dont want to stress him. He's now comfortable with my presence and my voice and will just chill out in the open now. |

| You'd be saddened by what a lot of those managers think of "lesser" beings like fish and hamsters |
| Versailles |
| Heck, man. My manager at the time said I was rather "over the top" in the care I provided to my own fish. LOL. |
| Versailles |
| I do agree that there is the occasional employee that knows lots. I was one of them, I've had fish tanks since I was 12. But this was through trial and error after years, and not a five minute "lesson" that everyone else received lol |
| Dayseeker |
| I gave up petsmart and petco years ago. I only buy reptiles from breeders at reptile expos. Im lucky enough to live by (I think) either the world's largest pet store or the largest pet store in the USA. I forget what exactly. But they are absolutely phenomenal with their animals. They won't even let you buy anything without a list full of questions about your set up/supplies you have and writing things down on paper like the bulb wattages you own |
| QualitySH |
| Versa I agree. Thankfully the petsmart employees at my location are very knowledgeable and care about them. Most of them are reptile and fish owners themselves. |
| Versailles |
| They do good with dogs and cats, and I'd genuinely trust getting one of these two animals from them. But anything, and I mean anything else, and they're provided zero training. None. They're told to read the "care guide" that they provide (which is false) and that's the extent of it. |
| Versailles |
| I used to work in a pet store. I can say with certainty that PetSmart is horrendous in animal care. |

| -Click- Here's the little guy. Yeah I just don't understand it beacuse it was the people petsmart gets there beardies from that were giving them pellets. I knew not to give them that. I also have a rescued Mediterranean house gecko that will only eat live crickets. |
| Dimmed |
| I think people see the picture on the pellets and assume it's the perfect thing for their pet without actually researching. Kind of like pellets for bettas when they really need a variety |
| QualitySH |
| I hope they get his attention and yeah I have no idea why he was fed that before arriving to petsmart |
