Thank you! I just knew he didn't belong where he was and I'm happy I listened to my gut. He is now with his new family just down the street from me and in such good hands! The family that took him in was already naming him/her before they made it in the door. They are saints!
I posted in the nextdoor app and have already found someone to take him and care for him until we find the owner. They have also offered to keep him if we don't find the owners. He lives on the street where I found the little guy and he has two Sulcatas in an outdoor enclosure. So happy he will...
