Yesterday I was at my local reptile store when I was told that a beardie came in that needed to be worked with that was very cheap because of her "issues". I asked if I could see her, and he brought her to me, mouth open and ready to bite. She tried to bite everyone that came near her due to her abuse, which was why she needed someone. She was a teenage boy's pet; She was kept in a shoebox for about a year with no uvb, heat, salad, water, and was barely fed any crickets. I knew I had to have her, so I took her home with me and have been giving her cuddles and love. My brother decided on the name Jojo; I like the name Sienna because she's the color of burnt sienna (crayola crayon) but I guess it's Jojo (for now). xP Jojo, being about a year old, is only 9 inches long. I've only had her for 24 hours, but she's now the sweetest little beardie ever. She doesn't try to bite at all anymore, except it was weigh in day today and she wasn't happy with us because she was napping(in the middle of the day) and my brother took her out to weigh her and get her measurements, and consequently she flared up at my brother. She also eats like a pig! She eats about 120 crickets a day. xD I really want to punch the kid who abused her. It's really sad to see beardies being treated like this. I don't have any pics of her yet, but I'll get some up soon. I just wanted to share the story.
