I will take them if you GIVE them to me..

they are in AWFUL condition
both are EXTREMELY emaciated. and need vet care immediately.

judging off the pictures neither has proper husbandry.

i wouldnt give either more than a week MAYBE 2 to live..

Her reply


They have always been small even when i bought them . I have many different type of lizards and all are healthy. they have been to the vet and they are fine. but thanks for your interest in their well being.

 

[Pinky81]

OMG Im nauseated after seeing that! I feel like emailing her ignornant ass too!

 

[KelliH]

That is disgusting.

 

[PetVet]

omg Poor babies. I hope whoever gets them can give them proper care...or care in general....jeeze.

 

[im faster]

And she wont take less than 50 bucks for them

sad

 

[lillith]

Send her pictures of what healthy leos are supposed to look like!
I'm nauseous and furious, which is never a fun combination...I'm tempted to write her myself, but I doubt it would help anything... =(

HA! EMAIL HER THIS THREAD!

 

[im faster]

i did.. on my first email.. and she still thinks that there just "smaller lizards"

 

[ajveachster]

Glad I read this thread without going to see her ad. From everybody's reaction I don't think I want to see the picture.

 

[mainelygeckos]

Seriously? I cannot believe...wait yes I can..There are so many ignorant people out there that believe that what they are doing for their animals is right but in this case I have a feeling she knows different and is only hoping to get someone ignorant enough to take them for $50.. These are a couple of the saddest geckos I have ever seen except one that I rescued a couple years ago that did not make it..she lasted approximately 2 weeks but the woman had bred her int he same condition of these girls so there was no hope...This is terribly sad and I hope either nature takes them from their misery or a new owner gets them that will spoil them as they should be (

 

[Kristi23]

That is disgusting.

I agree. How sad for those poor geckos.

 

[GeckoStud]

If she doesn't accept a picture of a healthy leo vs hers as anything more than hers being undersized send her a pic of an anorexic person vs a healthy one or a dog to the similar extent and ask her which one looks more healthy. If she replies that the "thicker" one is healthier then ask her how she thinks her geckos are any different then.
