Will update later, but a rescue is happening. All will be revealed
EDIT:
Hokay, so we went to petsmart yesterday. Were out of crickets and until Ace got paid today we needed some to tide everyone over till we order more. But we got our crickets and looked at their reptiles, cooing over them at how adorable baby beardies are. But upon closer observation one little guy was in shed, no big deal right? Yea, well this guy was having serious trouble with his shedding, it looked as if he had a rubber-band around his belly where his shedded skin was constricting him.
I found an assosiate and mentioned to him that the little guy needs a luke warm bath and he'll probably be ok. Now according to him he couldnt do anything about it since he's not the reptile expert, apparently that guy comes in this morning. Honestly the little beardie shouldnt have had to wait that long to receive attention. Especially since he really just needed a warm soak to loosen the shedded skin. I'll be going back after class to see if he did tell the morning people that that beardie needed attention. If not i'm taking all 3 of them, there on sale as well.
Now i know Ace and i already have a menagerie of animals but i dont feel comfortable leaving those 3 in their care, along with the shedding there were crickets roaming the cage as they basked. And if i recall they were on sand? I know the little leopard gecko was, he was very thin. I was told he had just come in, but why the fuck would you put a obviously ill animal on the floor. It makes you look bad. It is only relocation stress i'm sure, but nobody wants to see a stressed gecko in a brightly lit tank.
Hopefully a deal can be struck, otherwise we may leave 1 there. But i'd rather have all 3, because if something that little was ignored then the healthier looking guys aren't far behind in being neglected in a similar fashion. Update again when we have this resolved.
EDIT PART 2
So we went between my class and work to check up on the beardies. I didnt see the sheddy guy so i asked a supervisor if he had been seen to. To my relief he had received a warm bath that morning, made me feel so much better.
We then picked up the 2 pretty ones we liked and rescued them as well, one has red side bars and the other was yellow with black tiger stripes with a bit of red speckling. I had to leave for work soon after setting them up.
Unfortunately the little tiger striped one started going downhill, as i feared because Petsmart doesnt take the best care of them. Ace took him back and he was seen by a vet. They gave us a replacement beardie, one from the back. I havent seen him yet but apparently he looks similar to Charizard. Hopefully the tiger striped guy will be ok, its to early for him to go up to beardie heaven.
EDIT PART 3
Everyone's good, the itty bittys are shedding. After listening to Ace's diagnosis on the one tiger stripe that went back it looked like he had internal bleeding. So it is unlikely he survived :(. At least he's in a better place, hopefully. If hes still alive and at petsmart then thats not good, i need to check that petsmart to see if he did make it or not. Might just whine at them to let me have him back if he lived :p
