I'm so frustrated!

On a swap and buy site on facebook this morning I saw a picture of a beardie for sale. I clicked on it and apparently it is 8 months old (looks more like 2 months), has a tail nip, is living in a 15 gallon enclosure, and is under a repti-glo light that is 8 months old. I messaged the owner in hopes of educating them on caring for this animal. When I asked what it is being fed, she told me meal worms and kiwi. I'm surprized its still alive. I wish I could take it in, but I don't have the time or money for another beardie. She wants 100 bucks for it. But when you factor in the new enclosure and lighting, its well over 250. When I mentioned it needs at least a 40 gallon enclosure, she said "well she's tiny right now so she doesnt need a big one..." I feel horrible about how some people care for these animals. Sorry this is my little vent for the day.

Did you give her a link to this site and the care sheet on this site? Not that she would pay any attention to it anyways... what is the link maybe if another person says something to her she may think it over.
