that picture guts me to look at..

[simpleyork]

too many monitors end up on Ksl.com

At the last expo here there was a vendor with two tanks full of baby Niles and savannahs all in great condition . . . but you know how they end up. Heard plenty of little kids asking for the niles since they were cheap, I would give their parents my two cents when the opportunity arose trying not to be too disrespectful of the vendor. I did hand pick Tinkerbell from them after looking at all the other Savs at the expo.

Hootinanny came from a kid that had just bought him a week previous then realized he did not want a 3 foot lizard in his house.

Quite sad to see, just horrible what ignorance can do.

[rmfsnakes32]

I dont know much about lizards but thats very sad! Poor thing hope he finds a good home soon!

IF it survives, it's quality of life is gone anyhow.

It cannot dig nor limb without toes.

[rmfsnakes32]

Can their bodies learn to adapt? Like a animal thats an amputee. Hope its not a stupid question but I dont know much about monitors! ;)

[infernalis]

It has no choice but to adapt.

If it was in the wild, it would be mongoose food already.

It cannot dig nor limb without toes.I suppose you could make pre-made burrows for it, as well as ramps to climb on. Still, it will never be able to do everything it could otherwise.

[simpleyork]

to bad most pets store wont pass on good advice even if it was given to them. They just want an easy sale

[simpleyork]

at least this person knows it's in bad condition, too many adds will say "In great condition, just missing a few toes and part of the tail"

why would anyone want to give $80 for a sav that has been kept wrong for so long it's already got one foot in the grave?

you cant place a price on life. honestly i doubt it would survive being shipped. the amount of daily attention required to keep it alive is just beyond any of us in this forum im sure. really heartbreaking

[Philmul]

It's sad that people just go and buy them from the shop and don't do the research on them. It's the shops to blame as well they just want the sale. I gOt a heat rock and heat mat when I bought my first snake but I have never used them because I have heard bad things about them. What reptile can u use them for safely?
