Hello! My family and I have always wanted a beardie and now that all our kids are older(16,15,15,13,13 &11), we have been talking about getting one SOME day. We currently have our 3 ladies- beloved leopard gecko, Spoiled cat and medium sized dog. Well the other day my coworker mentioned that her brother has a 3 or 4yr old male that apparently is just “there“. The mother takes care of it.. kinda from what I‘ve heard and has said she’s just waiting for it to die or someone to take it. ? my heart broke for him! Anyways, we all agreed instead of a baby, we need to give this fella a good home! The family said great come get him. Soo super fast we all have been researching and taking notes! Looking at his cage from the photos tells me we need to get him adequate housing! The cage looks like it’s 20gallons and I’m not sure about their lighting, but the gal’s mom said they’re “wonky” & don’t really work! I asked about handling and that’s a no. No baths ever and they just keep a water dish in the tank. He just looks so sad in the photos I received today! Tomorrow the mister and I are making a trip to the pet store (1hr drive for the closest one) to get him things for a better forever home! She said I can pick him up in a couple days cuz she wants to clean his tank up a bit before someone else sees it ? The poor fella apparently had a name once, but they don’t remember it. We have already decided to name him Mr. Crowley(Ozzy was a close second?)! I know it’s going to take awhile for him to adjust and get to know us.. we just want to give him the best we can and hope he learns to love us too! If you have ANY suggestions on things I need immediately for him or tips please share!
