So it can die in peace? I'd rather spend the money and accept the heartache by taking an animal and allowing it to die in a good place in good conditions than let it suffer and die in terrible ones.

The issue is buying animals from irresponsible people feeds further into the industry and prevents these people from learning from their mistakes... they think (especially pets stores) "Oh that was easy to flip" or "I made a profit, let's buy another"...

I don't mean from pet stores. I mean from regular owners. Since it was advertised on Craigslist, I would assume it's not from a pet store. And I don't know of anyone who'd buy a sav and a (poor) setup and then sell it for $30 just to make a profit (especially when they wouldn't even make one). Most people get reptiles like this and just decide they don't want it or can't care for it.

Re: Poor thing, hope it finds a better home ...

you would be surprised how cheap you can get a sav... but yes not likely there is a profit for this... but then again the 30 dollar price tag in itself is enough to rouse suspicion... it most likely requires a visit to the vet and the owner doesn't want to fork over the extra doe...

Two thumbs up! I agree with this, and have done just this before.

People on craigslist push my buttons sometimes, they really do

No vet on earth does lizard kidney transplants....

That animal's organs are shut down. I know that look, seen it too many times.

It needs to be put down.

The last two days are the worst, I lived it... the final phase is the eyes sink in and the toes swell up, then the bloody diarrhea.

Wayne I know this must really strike a nerve

It is too bad there are soo many people out there who don't care enough about their animals to research properly...

Yes, hence me saying it would be good to give it a decent place to die instead of...that. Obviously this person is a bad owner and this sav is in bad shape. That's not a secret. My point was that, even though it hurts to take in an animal that's probably not going to make it and watch it die, at least it can die in a place that's better than it was in. A final act of kindness is better than none at all.

I feel as though that is giving the bad owner an easy way out... why should another person have to take the burden of watching this animal die? It is going to suffer no matter where it is... why A) relieve the jerk of this burden
and
B) reward him for it by giving him money?!

So you're saying let the animal suffer more in its last little bit of life just to punish the owner (who probably doesn't even care)? Wow. Okay. We're done here.
