New rescues sad sad pictures be warned
So, last night I got a call from a local woman and she stated that she had a pair of balls living together---face palm. But they were healthy and they were her ex boyfriends who's now in jail for well for whatever reasons. So I went over today to see what the deal was.
Anyways she wanted to know If I'd take them bc she didnt want them and didn't want anything to do with them. She apparently hasn't fed them in a few months but I'm thinking longer than that. They were together in a wood and screen cage. NO HEAT! I guess the lamp broke. Keep in mind I'm in VT and they had them next to a window and it gets colder than cold here. It's a breeding pair and they were courting as we were speaking. So I took them. And I'm disgusted by their health, cage everything. I left the cage bc I'm not going to be using it and I had asked why they were living together with no heat. She said they're a bonded pair and they cuddle and keep each other warm. FACE PALM!! WTF anyways I didn't like it but i kept my mouth shut and just took them. Ive included some pics be warned they are emaciated. But I want to post their progress bc these two are two of the worst ive ever gotten in. I'm sure I just prevented the certain death of these two gorgeous balls. It's too bad that people could sit and watch them die.
Female I guess last year they hatched out 4 babies that died shortly after. She obviously didn't get any good food after laying bc she looks like she just layed a huge clutch.

Both have a shed or two still on them. The male looks like he may have the beginnings of scale rot. And the female may have an impending Ri.
Thanks for looking updates to come.

WTH She wanted money for those poor things?! I would understand if she was selling the enclosure for that much (and still that's kind of a stretch) but for a pair of sickly BPs? I'm sorry but those kind of people need to be neutered.
