I know the feeling of all the stupid people. My girl Jesse , I found at a pet store in a tank with a male, she was skin and bones, not eating, no heat and no UVB. I picked her up and she just clung to me, I told the guy 2 different times they are not to be together. I tried just buying her and they said they were a "breeding pair" What jerks. I had to save up money and got both and tank for $160. I had a friend go in and get them out. told him make sure they are in different boxes to go home in. They would not have sold them to me because I yelled and screamed at him the time before. It took 3 weeks to get them out of there and I thought for sure she would be dead by then. I put her in her tank I had already set up and within hourse she is running around and doing good. Well 8 months later she is doing so well. I did sell the male to a good home. I already had one female so now I have 2. Besides trying to put weight on her she laid 2 clutches of eggs and almost lost her both times. People just piss me off how they treat these little guys. Jesse will always be with me. She is healthy as can be and so glad she is alive.
