I have both in my area, and I can't say that I'm completely happy with either.
The Petco...I bought my FBT there. There was a big sign next to them stating that "They make great first time reptiles" when I pointed out to the sales woman that they're actually amphibians, she didn't even know what that meant. She also had to ask another guy if the toad should be placed in a dry cardboard box or packaged another way. (I mean it was only 95 degrees outside) The animals there may have looked like they were doing well, but how do people like her get hired?
The Petsmart...this is where I bought my Pachytriton L. Naturally it was in a tank with the largest Paddy I've ever seen, I can't believe my little baby still had all her little toes and legs. (she was half the other's size) There were also about 15 FBT's in there as well. The sales girl was sweet but she was offering the customers to "pick" up the newts. She was more concerned that they wash their hands after they handle them them then before. Apparently living in an overcrowded tank isn't stressful enough.
