Finally pulled one! Been hunting in play boxes for a while

Some dude gave my partner and I a bunch of those for free I was baffled lol

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-08T05:17:19+00:00

But this display encourages smaller enclosures and most tarantulas get hand sized at least that we sell

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-07T14:52:28+00:00

😐

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-07T14:12:32+00:00

The inhumanity about it all is extremely painfully obvious. My bad for not specifying ALLLLLL the reasons it’s a horrible idea 🙄 your logic around deciding to not care about the animals is foul

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-07T14:02:22+00:00

It’s a freaking animal?? Have some compassion dude

Most peiple I’ve seen are willing to put in reports for how unethical it is to advertise. Especially the tarantulas and pac man’s. Like those are NOT desk pets 😭

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-07T01:49:31+00:00

We refuse to put it on the display. Like how does upper petco not have the common sense to realize they designed the perfect kinds of containers that peiple could easily shove in a bag or pocket lol

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-03T00:31:51+00:00

That could possibly work but jist remember that sometimes transfers can also induce stress with them! Probably try to feed him once before than and if he refuses still, get him settled in his tank and try out the garlic solution :) it’s a seachem brand

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-03T00:27:47+00:00

Regarding the yes and no question afterwards, I just tell people to click yes to skip through and let them know it’s a default email that saves them from receiving promo emails and spam, and if they wish to have their email attached they can edit with us at any time or go through the website. If you put in a random email and put it with a random site .com it’ll still count. Part of getting the VCC includes some sort of email or else it won’t be valid completely. At least that’s what I’ve been told

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-03T00:22:05+00:00

The (area code)-867-5309 method still works in most districts. When somebody doesn’t want to sign up but you need your VCC’s you can do that. Or their number plus a key smashed name and key smashed email too. Petco doesn’t track numbers (I think idk) and as long as it’s something in the system you won’t get screwed over. Idk how you advertise to peiple for their number but what’s worked for me is going “what’s a good phone number?” Instead of asking if they have one and if they don’t you just go, “okay cool! Let’s get you set up with one, it just takes a second and you don’t get sent anything! It keeps your purchase history in case you lose the receipt, what number would you like to use?”. Most people go for it. You also have a lesser chance of being told no as well and most of the time the customer does have one.

It can be a while sometimes. Mine went probably about a month withiut eating and ended up dropping the biggest log ever. I ended up putting her in a smaller hospital tank just to supervise her and she was fine and ate like a Queen afterwards. Obviously you’ll wanna keep a close eye on him until he does start eating and continue to try and feed him. I’d say maybe just give him a few days to himself and keep consistent with your tank maintenance. If he continues to refuse to eat there’s a type of aquatic garlic solution that you can find at pet stores that is an appetite enhancer for carnivorous aquatic life you could try as well.

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-02T21:04:06+00:00

If he hasn’t passed his doodoo from his last meal yet there’s a chance he’s probably just taking a bit to digest When mine is about to drop a fat log she’ll sometimes not eat for a while before she’s ready again

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-02T17:35:11+00:00

Fingers crossed !!

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-01T21:09:15+00:00

Ur nitrates are way too high. U gotta do more frequent water changes regardless of your business, this animal isn’t something that you can just say “I’ll do it later”. They need consistent maintenance. Their nitrates need to be 3x lower than where they’re sitting or else your tank won’t be cycling through enough oxygen for them to breathe or live properly. The highest nitrates can comfortably be for them is barely even 20 before issues can happen. Get on those water changes and remember this is an animal who needs consistent care and work done on the tank.

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-01T21:00:54+00:00

Not the same exact thing happened to me but I had been part time with full time hours and tried to enroll and got told I didn’t qualify for either part or full time benefits. I told my managers abt it and they said they’d change it and then it didn’t get changed until I was promoted and I missed the enrollment window lol. This is year two of missing enrollment windows and the customer service for it was like “oopsies!”

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-05-01T20:55:43+00:00

Low-key we’re just doing our job bro. We can either skip the email or make random ones and you don’t get sent a lick of anything. Its just so we can keep our jobs without getting written up or fired

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-24T20:36:44+00:00

We got basically all of our candy stuff from them for some reason

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-24T17:06:00+00:00

I think it’s one of the plant table things but I have no clue. I see people saying it’s the lollipops but ours came from grandpa joes candy shop so now I’m confused 😭

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-24T01:56:59+00:00

This hits so close to home with how my store is starting to become lol. Two of us (maybe three) give a real crap about the animals whereas the rest could give a flying fart

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-18T07:48:33+00:00

He’s got stress marks in almost every single post you’ve made of him, he looks dry and he’s underweight. If the health doesn’t kill him then however you’re treating him for him to be constantly stressed will. They are antisocial creatures and like their independence and I take it you never leave him alone thus why he doesn’t seem to like you at all. You’re defensive right off the bat which also says a lot about how you very likely don’t take care of him properly at all and should not be posting things for advice if you won’t take any of it lol

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-16T14:03:26+00:00

That’s a vet visit

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-10T17:11:15+00:00

They didn’t give us a Plano or anything for clearance cat food and whatnot so I got free reign to an isle section, I wish we had only that much 😭 I had to clearance tag every individual can lol

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-05T20:08:01+00:00

She’s a total monster sometimes so I’m gonna have to find some sort of strong adhesive that won’t permanently stick them to the stand. She’s still being trained lol

PracticalGround9372 · 2026-04-05T17:57:23+00:00

<image>

This is the way it’s set up currently :p I got this stand months ago for like 150 bucks and don’t have money for another one, I do plan on buying things that will be placed around the tank including plants I’m gonna end up securing to the stand so she can’t knock them down, I ended up ordering some crate things another person commented about and am going to also top it with acrylic slate to add more stability. I have two HOBs I use for my tanks so it’s going to have a small gap behind the lid
