#2257881 Spikey1 View Profile	PetSmart! Ugh! Can I just say PLEASE ppl if you are new on here do NOT listen to the little nerds at PetSmart! I had a little know-it-all of a guy today tell me they were out of small crickets, but go ahead and feed my 7inch baby beardie 3 of their "large" crickets which are about an inch to an inch and a half which (thank GOD) I have done my research and have better common sense....as I was leaving he asked me " Do you trust me now that I’ve explained how I have 5 beardies ?" I smiled politely said No and walked away. Where do they GET these ppl?!...sorry, just venting

#2257924 Joshua B View Profile	Message To: Spikey1   In reference to Message Id: 2257881  PetSmart! Ugh! i know what you mean lol. They told me to get sand for her substrate. Then a girl came in and the salesperson said...ask her, she has a lot of beardies. She told me to get the sand and then she continued to talk to the saleperson saying that one of her dragons was paralized in the two back legs. smh. I never listen to them

#2258486 Janmccri View Profile	Message To: Spikey1   In reference to Message Id: 2258004  PetSmart! Ugh! The best info is here or at beautifuldragons.com. You are all right! I would never trust what a pet store told me to do with my beardie or any other reptile! Janice

#2263597 Chrlea View Profile	Message To: Janmccri   In reference to Message Id: 2258486  PetSmart! Ugh! I have tile in all my dragons’ cages. It is much easier to clean. I use a wipe & moist paper towel. With 7 dragons, each in their own tank/condo, it makes cleaning a breeze. Charlie

#2263609 Joshua B View Profile	Message To: Chrlea   In reference to Message Id: 2263597  PetSmart! Ugh! I always wondered about the tiles. Your beardie doesn’t slide on the tiles with the long nails? Josh

#2263644 Jo1973 View Profile	Message To: Joshua B   In reference to Message Id: 2263609  PetSmart! Ugh! Its really sad to read all this! How many pets suffer at the hands of their owners because of bad advice!?! I had to give the petstore advice on the beardies they sold the other day. At least they listened and was thankful for the help. Very sad.....

#2263653 Chrlea View Profile	Message To: Joshua B   In reference to Message Id: 2263609  PetSmart! Ugh! Joshua, I try to use the rougher tile in their tanks. Just make sure they are sealed ceramic tiles. It doesn’t matter if the bottom is sealed, just the top. You can also use slate. I also make sure that I put some bricks or rough rocks in their tanks for them to climb on. It helps to wear down their nails. Charlie

#2264078 Spikey1 View Profile	Message To: Chrlea   In reference to Message Id: 2264075  PetSmart! Ugh! LOL Well, you DEFINITELY have your hands full! My son(7 about to be 8 w/ aspergers) is the reptile lover and now wants a corn snake and an alligator. Yes, he wants something that can potential eat him(good thing there is a ban on them here). As far as the corn snake, he’ll have to wait til he gets older and can properly care for it himself. I am not afraid of snakes or opposed to having them at all especially one that small,but it’s the mice and rats I cannot handle(even if they’re frozen)! :(
