I bought him from Petco on Sunday which was the worst decision I’ve made, I will never buy from them again. Anyways, I called them and let them know what was going on. They told me within the first 30 days of the purchase they will provide vet care. I said ‘okay great, can we schedule an appointment for me to bring him in then?’ His response was, “Ma’am you would need to come in and return the animal for us to contact the vet and set up an appointment. Once he sees the vet and is able to go home to a family again, we will give you a call if you want to come back and rebuy him.” It was a argument with this man on the phone because I didn’t understand why I needed to return my baby for him to see a vet. I finally gave in and said “if I bring him in how long would it be until he saw a vet because he flips around in his tank he cannot be left alone long, I hand feed him twice a day, etc.” they told me that they animals are checked on once a hour during store hours and then not at all throughout the night. He also told me it could be a few days before they were able to get him into a vet. So absolutely not. That just sounds like they are leaving him to die to me. And my mom made a very good point as “its Petco. You paid $60 for him and they probably don’t even pay half of that, they aren’t gonna put much into vet care for him”.
Other then Petcos vet the closest one to me that sees reptiles is almost 2 hours away
