The closest Petsupermarket near me keeps 2 "in stock" and they go for $115 each. The waterbowl has sand in the bottom of it from the babies dragging in the sand and the lettuce has sand ALL over it. Each bite they take is a mouthfull of sand with crappy lettuce Oh, and they dont have heat lamps on them!!!
Ok, tort rage over now
You would just have to start in Southern UK and walk north towards Scotland...tyler0912 said:i dont like craiglist or kingsnake cause i always see something i dont like!
RuthieHurry said:So, an update. I talked to his girlfriend, and she is pushing him to give the baby up to a good home, now that they know how they should be taken care of. My husband and I have prayed and put our trust in God to do what's best for this baby. "dmmj" we feel your pain, because for every hour we don't hear something, we're just stressed that much more. We are told that this is the way the pet store told them to take care of this baby (go figure). Our concern is that someone sees this baby and the set-up and grabs him up and continues this horrible treatment.

Can you see this Motley collection of folks...

I can honestly say that if I got it, spent $500 in vet bills and it died anyway, I would feel better for giving it that chance. As far as it infecting the other sulcata, it would be irresponsible of me not to quarantine it in the first place.

Looks like I am as crazy as you! I totally agree, my poor husband just holds on for the ride I hope you rescue him/her and give it a great home!
