Tank looks great! I just donated my 50 gallon to a girl in the cities who had posted on craigslist that she needed help - she has a baby who she got from her boyfriend that wasnt taking care of it properly so she took it- he/ she is in a 10 gallon w/ no heat and no UVB and no food so to speak -- she had no money till end of Dec- so I packed up a extra 18 " UVB I had a extra dome light fixture - some small dubias the smallest I had - a wood log and my IF gun and my cricket keeper-- drove down to the cities - about 90 miles from my house - met her at Pet Supplies plus and bought her a 100 crickets and probe temp gauge some cricket food and a 75 watt basking bulb --- -- it came to about $30 --- gave her this website address --- -- when my tank comes in I plan to take the one I have now down to her and get her set up---
That's really, really nice of you! I am a HS science teacher and a fellow science teacher had an adult beardie get dumped in her room a month ago. I guess the student's mother was evicted from her house and the beardie was SOL (over 90% of my students live in poverty, it's sad). The teacher called me up from the pet store, with noooo idea what to do, and it just so happened that I had multiple vacant set-ups lying around my house - lol. The owner left the beardie with a 100 watt basking bulb and that is it - so, I brought everything in the next day to set her up (he also named it Mike, but she is definitely a female - Mikayla now). I took her to my place for 2 weeks initially to fatten her back up, and now she rotates between school and my place. She is a tiny bit of a mess, but is doing much, much better now.
Once the student's housing situation steadies up, and he can afford to feed her, she will be given back. Selfishly, I was thinking about getting a Zero when that enclosure was empty.
