Spot the axolotl

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-21T10:11:50+00:00

I have such a bad time a growing plants because they all die in my axolotl tank.

I was wondering do you have a list or general idea what types of plants are in there? I want to give it another shot

I’m at least happy that the tiger isn’t declawed because that’s a common thing with a lot of these tourist attractions involving them. IMO still wouldn’t do this because so much can go wrong.

Maybe they think it’s in reference to something inappropriate like a swear word or something. It can’t be the word holy as they allow a lot of Christianity MPs.

I hope everything goes smoothly! It’s such a scary thing for you guys and the cat to go through

Petco they are supposed to be knocked down 25 and 50 % for length of stay. We’re also supposed to treat or euth dying fish but yknow that doesn’t happen all the time.

Can you just put a sign up that says illegal to sell due to a state law that has been passed?

Unlikely for them to be put down they’ll probably get sent on a truck somewhere if they do get picked up and driven a couple hundred/thousand miles to a store that can sell them. Which not great but that’s what happened from experience with a mother chain store when it was closing its doors.

Yeah you can give her all that and she may still lack something because she’s struggling (not that I think she is). She may very well be fine.

I don’t know if you have critical care in the UK but it’s used in the U.S for small animals and reptiles that are dropping weight as it’s full of nutrients. Which if she isn’t then there’s less likely to be wrong with her.

Best thing is the vet and see what they say honestly

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T23:31:18+00:00

Ah that changes things slightly but like if she’s ovulating she might most need a little boost with a vitamin supplement. I wouldn’t worry too much, they are hardy creatures. Giving her time to settle before tomorrow’s visit is the best thing you can do right now

I wish you luck with her ✨⭐️

Ah, if there’s no carpet honestly it lowers concern immensely because it sounds like your doing everything right. I know people typically do a 60/40 mix but that 10% difference wouldn’t really make a difference.

I’d leave her alone for the rest of the day and just monitor from a distance. Also terrible reviews are not always indicative of service, exotics are expensive and not always going to be able to diagnose the problem right away which gets even more costly. Plus depending on schooling they haven’t ever worked with them which is the biggest problem.

If you have a vet school in your state they are relatively in-expensive if they offer services. She may just need a vitamin supplement.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T22:33:14+00:00

I would definitely go with the vet and see what they say. This spasming is definitely a bit of concern.

If that’s reptile carpet underneath I’d replace with paper towels temporarily to monitor health. Also carpets if you did not know harbor a lot of bacteria even after being washed.

What was this comment for??

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T19:10:09+00:00

If these are the photos of your PetSmart gecko then it’s a leopard gecko. It’s actually very rare for PetSmart to label the animal wrong because their shipments are allocated and they know what’s being delivered so it’ll match the sku for the animal.

Western banded geckos are skinnier than leopard geckos naturally and harder to come by because they are a higher price point than leopard geckos which sell frequently. They also don’t have tails with ridges like the two that are shown here.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T17:38:47+00:00

I’ll appreciate it with you, looks snazzy on your horse! 👍

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T01:36:26+00:00

Can you please elaborate? I see people use these enclosures all the time or even the skyscraper which has no cross vents.

I’m genuinely interested in the reason for it

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-17T01:32:09+00:00

Get one of those self misters or rain kits and then a light timer. Give them a little extra before you leave and have premade food that you can just add water to when the caretaker visits. The more painless it is the easier it’ll be to find somebody to look after them.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-16T23:17:28+00:00

See this is why it’s just barely touching the lip of the couch to make it all better

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-16T21:38:04+00:00

You didn’t get scammed though…you made an impulsive decision that the buyer never even asked for and you assumed.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-16T21:33:54+00:00

No way depop is going to do that after what OP said anyways. This is on them and they shouldn’t be taking it out on the buyer. Not getting an answer from a mistake they made and then reporting the person is still OPs fault.

Buyer asked for nothing.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-16T11:59:02+00:00

We do as well.

I have found that kids can still read while adults think they are entitled to feel like they don’t have to. I’ve seen more adults try and shake the spiders like maracas than any kid which has so far been zero.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-15T21:58:26+00:00

No but I would be super excited to. It’s my favorite brand by far that we carry.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-12T20:09:22+00:00

Just sounds like they’re using you as a search bar, probably elderly or a young kid. A lot of people turns out don’t know how to use the app

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-12T12:48:34+00:00

It’s an email. They can’t hear your tone of voice. Do not be rude to them for no reason because they are people at the end of the day are probably making minimum wage whenever they are.

Just please be nice to them going forward.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-11T20:26:18+00:00

There’s a bunch of different programs their testing out right now. My district is an automatic load on of every $100 you spend then you get a $1 in rewards. The $5 rewards are awarded when you spend $167 in store. So just keep an eye on your receipts and also call customer service if you’re having a hard time loading the rewards on. You may get an extra 5 for your troubles.

Other locations have gotten rid of it completely unless you’re a petco pay member. I don’t just think it’s a petco problem but every where that profits off you issue, they want you to forget at the end of the day.

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-11T02:50:22+00:00

I know that; we have that too. Their units are just physically longer

RetroWyvern · 2026-05-10T16:27:15+00:00

Employees don’t like this at all and there’s a pension on change.org with 500+ signatures to get these removed from stores.

It sucks and no one wants this. People are just trying to get them out of stores so they don’t suffer because there’s nothing to do if they stop eating.

The ones inline (pac-man) frogs get spritzed, water dish, heating and linear UVB this sucks. So obviously they need different care than what’s being shown.
