Hello everyone!
I was directed to this forum by a close friend after I decided to adopt/rescue a beardie from a person on a Craigslist. His name is Steve (original name, I love it) and he lived in a garage.
Photo from text conversation with them:
He's at my house now and hopefully acclimating... He's still got a black beard ( which you can even see in the photo they sent me of him) and isn't moving around much or eating today. He ate yesterday and the night before when I picked him up.
According to his previous owners they only fed him "every other day or so" and usually "lettuce and carrots and crickets sometimes." He didn't have any lighting and they said they only used a baking light "in winter time."
We got him a reptisun 10.0 yesterday and a basking light they night we got him, some shelf liner and tile, and calcium/vitamin dusted crickets and mustard greens! He seemed to like them.
Steve seems like a sweet boy and doesn't mind being handled from the looks of it, and he even fell asleep on me last night after a soak.
I requested an appointment with a local herp vet to check up on him in general... If y'all have any suggestions I'd love to hear it!
New lights in his current tank. Looking to change that eventually. It's a 75g judging from measurements and Google.
