I am just curious, as I am a member of two reptile communities, where you have all gotten your reptiles and where you avoid. Most, if not all, of the people on those sites condemn pet stores as a place to get a good, healthy pet of any kind. I have heard Petco and PetSmart single out on many occasions as the "devil" of places to even go for pet food. Now, I have never gotten a dog or cat, or other mammal, but I have gotten reptiles from PetSmart and they were just as healthy as the ones I had from a breeder. Now however, the only way I take in any animal is if it is an animal in need of a (better) home. And then I try to find them good homes either through my contacts or by using Oodle.com and Craigslist. Before you ask, I do a thorough "interview" as well as a home visit and get a copy of their ID prior to agreeing to give them a pet. So where do you get yours?
