"Well I went to Petco today because they Advertized they were having a Reptile Contest! I was so excited I told everybody I knew!! "Well I showed up an Hour after start time only to find out that so far only five people were there and had showed up since I got there! but that wasn't what was so Disappointing, what was Disappointing was that I am there with my 3 Russian tortoises only to find out that what we brought them in with (their carry case) was what they had to stay in for 4 hours as per Reptile Specialist working there in the area! I know this because I asked were do we put our reptiles to display? figuring they had nice tables and possibly maybe tanks set up for the comforts of our animals! "well wishful thinking on the pet owner's part!! I watched People stand around with their pets in their hands in the containers they brought them in only to watch the reptile specialist try to sell them a Petco Reptile! and that went for everybody who showed up with a Reptile (Pet)!! even me! and you know what the worst part of all this whole Reptile Show project crap was? this was suppose to be a Supported by Petco a state wide Project sponsored by Petco its self! a show which was suppose to show off peoples animals and pick the best reptile and win a Ribbon!, Well guess what it was Actually a lure to get people who are into Reptiles in to their store to buy their animals which were clearly marked 50% off! How I know this was Because I watched the Reptile specialist try to sell for a whole Hour to everybody who showed up at petco, a Reptile! which was in there own display cases!!! After that I wasn't going to put my tortoises threw that any more to them it was torcher and that was of them being confined to a small carrying case which i had brought them in. I left and yes I was Disappointed about not having to possibly have one of my animals (Reptiles) win a Ribbon!! But I know one thing when I got home it felt good to watch my tortoise when I put them into their cage walk back into their spots where they then new that this was their home!! and then in turn, turn around and run for that Lettuce. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/grogansilver/IMG_27651.jpg
