Help with a rescue

[thingsthatmakenoise]

I just purchased a baby normal from PetSmart that looked to be in terrible shape. Outside his hide, not moving, looking extremely skinny, housed with another bp... It completely broke my heart. Should I wait to get him comfortable before trying to feed? How skinny he is really worries me. Any advice would be great, thanks guys!

I would set him up in a small hatchling tub for quarantine, on white paper towels for a daily mite check, and offer a live hopper in a day or so.

I also hope you didn't pay full retail for it, otherwise you just gave them more money to buy another one to neglect.

Thank you, I'm so worried for her, she's in a quarantine tub now with paper towel.

I know exactly what you mean and I struggled with buying her at all because of that. This was the second time I've seen her look like that, and I couldn't leave her again. My husband has banned me from going to PetSmart at all anymore because I'm just going to want to save them all.

These aren't the best pictures but I think she's got scale rot. Can anyone confirm?
