and he has excellent stock. He sells them all kinds of corns from normals to bloodreds all at the same low price. So you might get almost anything there. It is what happens AFTER they arrive at the shop that I worry about. Judging from customer emails, there are some Petcos that properly label the morphs, give good care, as well as good advice. I also get customers who want to know if they should follow Petco advice about feeding crickets.
I would suggest that you try to find a shop that employs at least one reptile person in addition to all of the puppy and fish people. If you are a beginner, be skeptical of their advice until you are sure they know what they are talking about. Another post gave some good info about judging the health of the baby yourself. As mentioned, you will never know the pedigree of your petshop baby, but you will save shipping and also get to see the baby before buying. So there are both pros and cons to going that route.
Good luck!
