hey, i werk at the petsmart in columbia, md. we used to always keep the baby leopard geckos on reptile carpet, a new manager has come along and put them all on repti-sand, these guys are tiny like under 3 inches i think, so yea, actually the manager thinks he used calci-sand b/c when i brought it up with him he said that it was calci sand which is "digestible" and that it was policy to keepthem on sand, i just want to point out that i read through the "policies" on reptiles and it said that beardies, and leos, could be on either sand or carpet, so it def wouldn't hurt if sum1 could write a letter like that to my petsmart, thanks a lot

Seems like you know what you're talking about. Why don't you try and write one yourself?

main thing is is that i work there, and i've tried they won't listen to just me, i'm thinking if more than one person complained about it, then they might change it

Well you may be right but not too long ago a bunch of us wrote to one of the big chains and I don't know if anything came out of it or not. Everyone got a reply that was the same that indicated they would look into it.
It is discouraging to have a "canned" reply like that. Granted, it's worth a shot, though. Never give up, right? I'll get back to ya'.

Remind your manager that sometimes it's all about money, even at the risk of our beloved pets.
Many, many Beardeds have been impacted and died from Calci-sand and like products.
