We were looking through Craigslist pets (like we do everyday just for fun) and we came across a person in our area selling a male beardie with the whole setup. The first sign that he was being mistreated was that in the description he claimed that his beardie "loves lettuce". The pictures showed him with a red night light, so I'm sure he hasn't had a good nights worth of sleep his whole life. From his pictures he looked to be about 6 months old or around there (our one is 7 months and he looked to be around there). So I text messaged him. He said that he's around a year old, much to my surprise. He has to be severely malnourished in order to be as small as he is. I asked him what he feeds him and he said kale mealworms and crickets. He doesn't have a uv light on him and I assume he never has. I feel really bad for the poor little guy but I don't want to get in over my head with issues. How bad could his health be if he's never had uv and how hard will it be to get him to start eating more nutritionally? I SO BADLY wanted to tell him off but had to restrain myself in case we do end up getting him.
