so i went down to my local pet store today to get crickets for spike my iguana, and went to look in their reptile section. the poor iguanas are NOT being cared for properly, their food and water dishes were so filthy that the EMPTY food dish was growing mold, and the water dish had brown water in it and was growing alge... there has GOT to be something that i can do, i dont curretly have the time, money or space to adopt any more igs, but maybe someone knows what else can be done.
please reply promptly with any advise on what can be done.
thank you
Spike and Sarah*

Well you can contact your local animal care and control. I'm not sure if its animal care and control or if it's someone else but just like a restaurant, pet stores have codes they must follow or risk losing their license.

I hope you are not feeding a Green Iguana crickets. Green Igs are never to be fed any type of insect. |

Most every Petco I go to seems to be neglecting all of their animals. I saw a dead baby green ig when I went window browsing half a year ago. I was so appalled that I complained right away, but nothing was done while I was in the store. I also came across a ferret in Petco that had blood smeared all over its face and left side. It was bleeding from the mouth pretty bad. Once again I complained but all the cashier had to tell me was "Yeah, we don't know what is wrong with him...there must have been a fight. He's been like that since yesterday." WTF!!!!! This is why I HATE Petco!
