I think you did a great thing for him, but man were you right about that retained shed. I don't understand how so many people are capable of neglecting an animal so much. I put aside time each and every day to properly care for the animals i have and yet i have seen so called reptile stores, and so called "breeders" show countless amounts of bad husbandry, forgetfulness, and just plain ignorance. If you don't have the time, avoid a pet altogether, especially with reptiles... Regardless if the animal is small, medium or large it is the owners responsibility to attempt to reenact(sp) the animals natural environment. I do commemorate him for lowering the prices, but it still doesn't erase the neglect shown.

At least follow the simple rules, proper space, heat, lighting, humidity, and food!

Heck yeah!!! You rock! Let's pray that he never gets in to reptiles again! I hope he turns out ok! *bear hugs you*
It's nice to see a sweetie like him go to a better home.

Keep us updated on his condition!

After trying really hard to not let her hibernate she did it anyway.
So when she comes out I'll get some fresh pics of her.

Uh-oh..did yo get any food in her before she went under?
