Question on Google
Do they have non-venomous and non rodent eating snakes?like Garter snakes?

Not sure about snakes that don't eat rodents specifically, but the do have some small types (that stay small) that would have a very hard time trying to eat rodents. As for venomous snakes, it is illegal in the state of California to sell venomous snakes without some very special permitting for both seller and buyer, so I can unequivocally say they do not sell any of those

The young man Nicolas at the register was very kind; he helped me create an account so I could earn rewards, and he was very attentive to everything. I truly appreciate the service from people like him. I had a great experience here.

Petco is a great store to go to for alot of your pets needs. The problem is prices are pretty steep on alot of product. Don't go if your on a budget or want to save . Probably won't happen.
