Dear Sirs, I am the administrator/moderator for the Worlds largest Garter Snake Forum, Thamnophis.com. More and more often the name 'Petco' is coming up in conversations regarding the Keelback Snake (Xenochrophis vittatus), which many of your stores are selling as Indonesian Garter Snakes. Please be aware that these snakes are not Garter Snakes, they are mildly venomous and rear fanged. They are always heavily parasitised and invariably die soon after purchase, even in the most experienced of hands.Thamnophis.com has over 7,000 members worldwide, and countless anonymous readers, I'm sure you will agree that this number of people reading the constant bad press regarding Petco and these snakes can only be harmful. I respectfully request that Petco stop buying in these animals, or at the very least label them correctly, so that the public may be aware of what they are purchasing from you. Please feel free to contact me for further information. Note, I will post a copy of this e-mail on the forum. I trust that this request will receive your best attention.
That's almost exactly what I wrote. Almost word for word.
