Just wanted to share,my friend rescued a 2 1\2 yr old male,the previous owner out him on Craigslist for free.She saw the pics he posted and new he was in bad shape..long story short,when she got there he was in 20gal aquarium,no uvb,no heat lamps,only a regular bulb! He was on soil,nothing in there to climb or get off the dirt..he was solid black from dirt and feces,he has never gave him a soak,how he's alive I have no idea..fighter! She put him in warm bath and used toothbrush to clean him up,he lapped the water up like a dog for 30mins,I know this is long,but some people should not have something they can't take care of..after cleaning him up we saw he has broken leg likely from mbd from no uvb,tremor's,one side of mouth sags,he was showing teeth and very skittish(understandable) all he EVER fed him is Cale and mealworms..one day later,he is eating crickets and collard's like it's his last meal and from wanting to tear your fingers off to climbing in your lap..very sad story with a happy ending!!
