Almost all reptile keepers have wandered into a petco, Petsmart, or other pet store when away from home. Everyone who has done this has thought about “rescuing” an animal. Many people say, “Don’t buy from them, they will just get another. Also, it is giving money to the bad places they get their animals.” What do you think? I think people should rescue these animals. Buy buying these animals, you are most likely saving their life. Of course they will get another one, but it is destributing the stress around. If the animal you rescued died in that store, they would get another one too. If it didn’t die, it would most likely get sold to inexperienced parents that would give it to their kid who would kill it buy either forgetting about it or giving it such bad care it just could survive. If all of the reptile keepers went out today and bought all the animals in petcos around the world, the breeder would be so stressed he would probably run out of animals to ship. By rescuing these animals you can stop misinformation about reptiles. Next holiday, when someone asks, “What do I want”, I will say, “A petco gift card!” What do you think?
