I've shopped at pets plus multiple times,all animals i have purchased being a Chinese water dragon and a white lined gecko are still alive and healthy.The place may have some dead animals, but find me a pet store that their animals don't die! All you need to do is bring it up with an employee,and they will take care of it a.s.a.p.about the smell, obviously the place is going to have a stench, there are thousands of animals get over it! Overall the store is a reliable place to buy animals.
