As a petstore manager, and reptile hobbyist, I tell my team to mark these care guides up! Cross out what’s old and add what’s needed. At least until corporate can catch up. Which hopefully is soon! It’s always a catch 22 with people. Wanting these animals to be set up for success but also not wanting them sold at all 😢

@rickcroney1286 11 месяцев назад

Nice video! One comment on veiled chameleons, in many cases a hybrid enclosure is better than a screen enclosure. A hybrid enclosure has solid sides allowing for the humidity to remain higher but still allows for ample air flow. Most homes are way too dry for full screens due to heating and air conditioning. Bill is definitely a must watch and subscribe for a chameleon keeper.

@WickensWickedReptiles 11 месяцев назад

Good tip!

@MrsBaltes 11 месяцев назад

I’m definitely not an expert, but false plants can be dangerous for veiled chameleons. Mine is constantly munching on his plants. And do tons of research on safe plant species!

@oscarflores6717 11 месяцев назад

Hopefully they update the bad ones. I’ve been seeing improvements at the petsmart and petco shops I go to recently. Even the animals look a lot better. I just wish they’d get rid of the reptile carpet. I think as long as the community continues to grow and people are better educated about reptile care there’s a chance that big chain stores can finally keep their animals in at least livable conditions.

Hey Adam from the uk run reptile section in exotics pet shop. Study zoology at college.!I wasn’t aware also of Yemen chameleons eating fruits and veg till not that long ago, however since then I have been researching on dietary advice and what sort of species of plants they would come across in the wild and trying my best to replicate that in captivity. Since then my Yemen loves all sorts of safe greens especially alove ra and hibiscus, love the channel and love how naturalistic you advice people to go when it comes to all areas of care.

@Hippolf 11 месяцев назад

I work at PetSmart in the pet care department and I never give people care guides even though we're supposed to. They have some good basic info but nothing you couldn't get in more detail online. Things are better than in the past when PetSmart sold iguanas, but there are still things like fishbowls (literally all fish should be in proper tanks) that I always steer people away from. And unfortunately bearded dragons have a high mortality rate due to being shipped here almost right after hatching.

@nataliezdrazilova4493 5 месяцев назад

It would be amazing if you did a video on how wrong the enclosures in pet stores are, like either go to your local pet store or have subscribers send you some photos and take a look at how good or bad they are. I think this would be also amazing for ppl who can’t go to an expo/don’t have any breeders in their area and can only go to pet stores so they can spot real bad care right in the pet store. (Some pet stores keep even rodents in bad conditions, let alone reptiles)

Yes, more roasts! PetSmart, Petco, PetSen$e (by Tractor Supply) roast them all! Especially PetSenSe, they still have their beardies set up with red lights at night. Also, the basking & UVB lights are on different sides of the tank because they're using a coil UVB light!! I used to slide the UVB light over to the basking area when nobody was looking whenever I went in lol.

@Partiot6607 11 месяцев назад

As someone who sells animals at (enter big chain pet store here) I have and will continue to refuse sales to people if they have those screen cages or can’t afford to have a proper set up because the screen cages cannot hold humidity, especially in my area where it’s practically the desert.

@tigerjoe4571 11 месяцев назад

I would love to see more, I really enjoy this series, not because of the usually lack of proper care advice on the Petsmart care guides, but because it goes to show just how much Petsmart, the biggest pet store retail in all of the United States and Canada potentially (Petco included), just how little they really know about what they’re selling. I pains me just to think about all the people, whether a parent of young children or anyone who actually takes everything they say as truth, and trust that they are correct, end up with an unhealthy reptile with subpar and unacceptable living conditions. This series really brings that to light, and honestly no hate on these pet stores, but they should at least know the basics of these care guides, and be PROPERLY educated, before giving incorrect advice about these animals to unbeknownst people who trust them. And I am quite surprised how accurate the Cuban False Chameleon care guide was. These have so much potential, to help others know the truth about the care these reptiles, but all it takes is proper research, and proper information, so that these creatures have an excellent life, as well the their owners who know better and care for them with correct information.

PetSmart has always been a place that is very hands on Cats and Dogs first type of place. I’ll never understand why reptiles are being sold here. For corporate greed? Probably. But the point is PetSmart has absolutely no idea what they are doing with reptiles and amphibians when it comes to care. They are always housed incorrectly, fed incorrectly, incorrect temperatures, handled incorrectly, incorrect supplies, I could go on and on. If you want actual proper care for your reptile, go to your local reptile stores. If you don’t have those kind of stores, then look for the proper things to order online off of Amazon or other sites.

So this was funny timing as I was just at Petsmart yesterday looking at BP guides as well. I felt really bad for the one BP I was looking at. I'd say 50 - 75% of her enclosure was taken up by one large water dish and one hide that she wasn't even using. She was also in what I can assume was a 10 Gallon enclosure. The Humidity in her enclosure was so bad that you couldn't even see into it from the front because of all the condensation on the glass. I asked the guy who worked there if I could see her and all he did was pull out the drawer so I could see her from above, he told me he couldn't actually take her out for me to see her which I thought was a bit of a red flag. (I'd almost wager she has scale rot). I asked the guy if he knew how old he was and he had no idea, his best bet was maybe 6 months old. I asked him if he knew what Morphs she was and he had no idea. I checked the care label on her enclosure and it was all (to my knowledge) wrong information. It read that BP's are only forest dwelling animals that need a singular heatsource of 80-90 degrees and their humidity should be 30-50%. I couldn't believe how inaccurate it was. The pamphlet guide was a bit better but still had misinformation. I also found mites in the Hornworm enclosure and they all weren't moving at all so ... there was also that ... I felt so bad for her and wanted to rescue her but at this current time I couldn't =[.

@strangepetscmty thank you for the advice! Unfortunately I was in there to pick my dog up from her grooming app and took a peek at the reptiles while I waited. I'm still a week away from bringing my first BP home so i figured I was okay but in definitely taking your advice once I get it :). I'm sorry to hear about your mite infestation as well 😬
