I found someone on Craigslist selling their 9 month old beardie. He had her listed with all her supplies for $150 but he is going out of state tomorrow and is willing to sell her for $75. She has been fed crickets 2-3 a week and veggies. He says he fasts her two times a week. The pictures of her enclosure are all clean and she has all the basic necessities. Her temperament is said to be good. She would be my first beardie but should I invest in rescuing this one from PetSmart. I haven't heard good things about the store.
Hi there....if she looks to be in good condition you might go for it, you can never be sure what problems might pop up with any beardie. If you go to have a look at her make sure she doesn't have a very dirty vent area, look for any signs of fungus [ yellowish crusty patches that are not just color ] and whether she seems alert. You might get a real sweetheart.
I'd say if you are looking for a beardie this may be a very good deal for you. Sure you won't experience much of her juvenile time but the fact they know she is a girl and her approximate age does speak well about her. If she comes with the supplies like you said that is an amazing deal as set ups cost a fortune. I have nearly $250 in my baby boy Dovakhiin's setup already and that isn't counting him or his food!
