I don't know if this gal can be saved

but I'm going to try my hardest. I'm buying the tank or anything. The guy is asking $50 for the dragon. What I really want to do is report him for animal abuse, but I doubt that anything will be done about it. Poor baby.

I just found that site doing a quick google search. I say tell him to give you the animal or you're going to report him. Animal cruelty is a real crime and there are people out there who care for more than just the furry critters. Take a picture of that Craigslist post using the ' prt scrn ' button on your keyboard. Then go into Paint and hit paste, this is basically taking a picture of your screen. If you can't, I already did I can e-mail you the pic.
I absolutely cannot stand this kind of behavior. :main_angry: It's right up there with child abuse, they have no way to change the situation they're in. Just buying the animal reinforces that this behavior is okay.

as soon as this guy gives me his address. I'll do that.

That poor baby.
I hope you give him hell for doing that to that poor sweet baby. (Personally, I think I'd take the dragon then bust him square in the mouth)
He better just give you that animal if he knows whats good for him.:main_angry:

I got her. She doesn't look like she's at death's door, but she's not doing very well. I got her under an MVB and fed her some squash baby food mixed with calcium powder. I'm going to give her a bath tomorrow morning, but right now I just want her to soak up some rays and relax. I've got her in a temp viv until tomorrow.

Here's the most immediate problem. It looks like her eye was infected and now there is necrotic tissue. I hope she doesn't lose an eye.

Maggie decided to keep her company for a while.

aww, poor thing. I'm so glad you have her, she's in good hands now!!! I hope she gets better and you can keep that eye infection under control. good luck!!

Here's Chance! She just had a bath/long drink of water and then she ate 10 crickets and 2 dubia roaches. She then proceeded to try to take a flying leap off my shoulder. I think she's going to make it. :lol:

Here she is sitting on her log after her bath:

She's got some lovely yellow showing up on her head now.

She's giving me the stinkeye. I don't think she likes the camera that much.

Awww, poor little bud. I would say stink eye is a good sign.
