on wensday i went to a pet store to buy crikets for my bearded dragons when i was in there i was looking at their reptile section and i noticed they had bearded dragons when i bent down to take a look i saw a baby bearded dragon DEAD and he was really skiny and then i saw a nother one dying it was also really skinny when i saw the thrid one it had a nibled tail they wer all in sand and were prety much dying when i told the guy who takes care of them that his dragons are dying he just looked all confused and left to the back of the store and he never came out i have to say that i cant get the picture out of my mind and it was so horrible and sad i got so mad i dint even get the crikets insted i went to a difrent pet store to get some.

omg! thats disgracefull! it wasnt petco was it? wenever i go there i try to not look at their leopard geckos because they are always in such bad shape. its sickening the horror that goes on in those stores... it makes me so mad!

actually no this wasnt a petco but after this store i did go to petco and they wer taking better care of the dragons then this pet store

This is why I breed roaches for feeders. I don't have to bother with the pet store and their cruelty to almost every anumal they carry. That with the beardie is awful but it happens in every tank you look.

I bought my BD at a local PetSmart. He looked decent. Not skinny, just a little stressed. Ive had him for bout 2-3 months and hes doing great.
