Came across this poor girl while browsing today and wanted to cry! I don't have the money to take on her vet bills, but hopefully someone here does!!

She needs a new home, she has never been bred. We bough her a couple years ago from the B&I. She comes with what you see, there is a tear in the wire mesh roof (thanks to the cat). She is pretty tame and likes to chase crickets and meal worms.

I have good news! On my roommate's recommendation, I decided to send an email politely informing the owner of her condition, and recommending him to the local herp society's rescue program. He emailed back and seems genuinely concerned. He says he's sent an email out to the herp society, and I offered some tips on improving her quality of life in the meantime.

She still direly needs a rescue, and I get the impression that the asking price would be flexible to someone prepared to take on the heartache and vet bills.

I have my fingers crossed for this baby girl.
