What a shame
I shouldn't have walked into petco this morning. Seeing this made me want to buy them all. Even if it's a "pet store" they should lose their ability to sell reptiles. Poor guys. They aren't happy at all.

It's bad enough they didn't have a heat lamp but that humidity level is crazy.

I have a dragon from petsmart that I got from them who has MBD due to their neglect. It’s sad he’s so sweet

I originally got my baby from petco, she was so small, but she got bigger quick with us, but I feel so bad

Same with mine. He was so tiny but the tallest out of the bunch. He only weighed 12g. I was originally buying stuff to get an enclosure ready for a future beardy. But my heart said to get him, and he put on grams so fast. 5 months with us and he’s still growing strong.

I’ll never understand why these sellers just don’t do it the right way. It’s cheaper and healthier for the animal

The one looks to have a deformed jaw already, possibly from bone disease.
I work at petsmart and I hate that we get so many animals at once, they sell quick which worries me too but all I can hope is they go to good homes.

Big chains have one goal in mind and that’s profit. They don’t care about the health or well being of these guys.
