Alot of people abuse reptiles, why I don't know, it' makes me sick. Hopefully the sherriff can track down the little guy and get him to you, you'd sure take care of him. I have 3 rescues out of the 5 I have, I've had others but with one thing or another I've lost 4 of my girls. When Sweetie passed away last Dec/11 from pneumonia & too much egg laying (low blood calcium, she was so sick), I put my foot down and now take in only males. So that's how I found Gabriel, he's 2 and was dehydrated, skinny and full of parasites when I found him in the pet shop I got to. He'd just been abandoned to the shop, and I'd just gotten a large tax return, so it was meant to be. He was 280g when I got him and very feeble, he's 500g now and my beardie with the most energy and always into something!
So good luck and keep me updated. I hope your find your dragon soon.
