Beardie looking for a forever home

[Emilia Thuet]

Hi I recently just foster a bearded dragon (and when I mean recently I mean a week ago) and I’m trying to find him a forever home where he can live out the rest of his days. His name is Prometheus he’s 8 years old, loves cuddles and being out of his tank with people. Little back story I found him on kijiji being sold by a guy who had so much wrong information about bearded dragons it was shocking. He lived in a small 20 gallon tank with barely anything to climb on and with a bulb that was too far away from him, he also wasn’t feed properly at all. Due to that he does have some minor mbd in his arms and his jaw is a little bit deformed. But that doesn’t stop him from munching on all his veggies. He is also extremely skinny missing most to all of his fat pads. Not to worry though a few extra butter worms and he’ll be plump in no time. Obviously he’s not ready to be adopted right away but please let me know if you are interested in taking this little guy, I’m located in Toronto, Ontario. Here are some before and after I got him pics, he has gained 6g and we are very proud of that

We are looking to get our first... and i've been looking for rescues/rehomes rather than go straight to a breeder. Is he healthy - parasite/virus free ? and is shipping an option when they are older? Is it safe for them?

That’s so great to hear. He’s still being rehabbed but I just finished collecting fecal samples for the vet and I’ll be handing it over to them tomorrow. I should be hearing back from them later on this week. If he has any I will treat him for them so you will get him parasite/virus free. He has had an initial check up and besides the obvious mbd and that he’s emaciated he’s checked out well everywhere else. I will make sure you get his vet history if you decide to adopt him so you’ll have all this information yourself. Shipping could be fine with him I’ll ask the vet but usually if they are healthy they are good to ship. May I ask where you live generally, like what province or state do you live in if you don’t mind me asking? I also want to mention that he is near the end of a normal bearded dragon’s life span due to the fact that he is 8 years old. So I don’t know how long you may have him, I just want to make sure you’re ok with that. It would be great if you could give him a forever home, he deserves a loving family to live out the rest of his days with. And honestly you could have him for a long time. I have a bearded dragon who’s 11 years old and came from a very neglected family, worse than Prometheus sadly and she’s doing great. Let me know if you are still interested

We are in Northern NM, US.
Yeah - we are a little old and the worse for wear ourselves so that's okay. Let me check with the fam and I'll get back with you.

He’ll fit right in then lol. That’s wonderful to hear and I’ll just post some recent photos of him so you can show to your family.

Alfonso/Prmoetheus is handsome. She has been looking also and said she was talking to someone else with a rescue in az - which is much closer ... we could drive to go get her and avoid shipping stress for everyone. If that does not work out I will be back in touch. We should know this week, she said.
Thank you and please stay well and healthy to you both.

Did you find him a home?

Not 100% sure, I have someone who’s a bit interested but he still has a long road to recovery considering everything he’s been through so he’s still chilling with me
