 Dead snakes from Petco

Hey people. I’v noticed that there are alot of people on the RPI rosie post that are complaining about their dead snakes from Pecto. How many people have had a dead reptile or snake from Pecto, I havent but I think somthing should be done. Anyone agree?

We had 2, the first back in about August, and the second mid-November, from the same Petco. We have posted about the second, Dahlia, who seemed doomed/too good to be true - and was.

 Dead snakes from Petco

We had come to this forum asking questions about how to get her to eat. She was a Anery Motley with no belly pattern, except one ’freckle’ on her neck. People commented that she was a good find and someone must have made a mistake with her ending up at the pet store. Turns out she was too good to be true, she refused to eat, even just a pinkie head. She was very very tiny even for a hatchling, less than the thickness of a pencil. I think she died like 2-3 weeks after we got her, she only ate one pinkie head about a week and a half into ownership. We had ordered a pinkie injector to start force feeding, but we found her belly up before the injector was delivered.

Hope that cleared up the comment. With the topic I was a little frustrated thinking about all that again and may have been short with the response.
