Petco gets all of their animals from random breeders, as of yet, they won't tell me. Supposedly the same place they get their leopard geckos, though, so if you find that out, tell me. :D

A manager at PetSmart told me they have a list of specific suppliers they have to buy from, but not which ones. Also that those are only supposed to be selling CB animals. One of them though sells them whatever. I've gotten two pets from them that were definitely WC, and their ones with problems all come from the same supplier. I'll have to ask which ones they are.
Good luck

I believe it's The Gourmet Rodent that supplies PetSmart, and they do not sell snakes to the public.

Friend of mine works for a company that does alot of the whole saling to Petco, I don't know exactly what all they sell to Petco, they have a ton of reptiles, but I don't know if Petco sees those, or if they just get all the rodents. The place I know of is very reputable, no quirky practices...

Orange Amel, I bought one a few years back from Petco, different coloring I thought too, was sold as a cream, not sure if it really is though...

I do not know about PetSmart because they just started selling snakes recently but I do know PetCo gets theirs from Gourmet Rodent as Tim had stated.
Obviously Gourmet rodent is where PetCo gets their feeder mice.

yeah i knew about petsmart and r.p, I just didn't know what Petsmarts deal was. Thanks guys!

Btw... I been mulling the idea that mine might be a creamsicle too, but it was sold as an orange amel...and I go back and forth on which one it may be. i lean towards orange amel. i really wouldn't care as long as I could find a female too pair it with. he sure is nice looking!
