Triple Threat Rescue

O geeze, I'm haunting now.

As long as she has plenty of good food, calcium + proper lighting she should be fine. She handled her first clutch like a real champ.

Exactly one week until Stumpy goes to his new home. I will be taking pictures of the new enclosure that is being built for him next Wednesday when I drop him off and will have them in the album in the original post by that night. Very excited to see it. The boys are renaming him "King Stumpy" and the Dad is building a castle shaped basking spot/hide. Even emailed for Stumpy's dimensions, so that he could build it the right size. Every time I talk to this family I feel better and better about my choice of home for Stumpy.

Poor little babies! Bet I know what happened to the one beardie's tail. If they get hungry enough...
How is the little mama doing since she laid her eggs? She could really use come carnivore supplemental food like the stuff that Oxbow has or Reptaboost. It looks like she needs that nutrition badly and it will fatten her up. Sweet baby.

momswims, I never thought of reptaboost! I'll pick some up on payday from work.

The Oxbow carnivore supplement powder is really good for them, too. If one of my beardies won't eat, I alternate between the two, Reptaboost and Oxbow. Both things have protein, calcium, vitamins, plus they are getting the fluid that they need. Best of luck. Bet they will be doing great in no time.

Stumpy has gone to his new home, where he lives in a "kingdom" with his own custom built castle. SO impressed by this family and certain I made the right choice. They had crickets, superworms and phoenix worms coming in the day after I dropped him off, and a fridge full of appropriate veggies.
Here's some pics of him in his new home

Egg update:
So I kept the eggs. They are sitting on my dryer in the laundry room where the temperature is good enough, with good ventilation and a decent soak for humidity once a week. I'm probably exposing them a lot more than I should, but I don't have the money to buy or build an incubator, so I'm doing the best I can with what I have available to me. Missy is recovering well, and does not appear to be planning another clutch - belly is round but not lumpy like it was when she had eggs, and she's not digging or showing any signs like she did before. She's laying on her basking tiles looking content right now.

Update:
Well Missy never laid a second clutch. Very grateful. She is gaining weight and looking good. She's a total salad pig and not picky at all.
Her eggs never hatched, they obviously weren't fertile and around the 60 day mark started forming brown spots. They've been frozen and thrown away.

Phew, bet you're glad they weren't fertile, at least you don't have to worry about the stress of finding them new homes.

Wow that is amazing! She is a strong girl. But that previous owner was a total butt head! I am kinda ****** off right now But at least you saved them
