>>It's hard to make even little changes when the whole thing is controlled at the large-scale corporate level, handed down by the 'big guys'.

>>In my experience also, there are a lot of vets who know only the 'general reptile' formula (as far as temps, feeding etc) and are not well versed in the care of some of the rarer herps, such as Rhacodactylus.



Since rhacs (at least Cresteds) are fairly common now, it's a shame that corporations like Petco can't provide a better care sheet, especially since care is so simple. Thanks for keeping an eye on your Petco. The ones near me are pretty decent, and usually willing to listen to my suggestions, though I never have (and probably never will) bought a herp there, just supplies.



We should all try to keep these guys on their toes as much as we can.
