I can see where youre coming from and it's duly noted. I was just as surprised as you were that she housed them like that since the albino had a proper cage and heating prior to buying the new one. The new one was somewhat of an impulsive buy as she quickly fell in love with it and a chance to own a banana pin was too good to pass up. Yes I admit that she made a mistake and her temporary housing wasn't such a great idea. I basically flipped on her for it actually. This was supposed to only be a two day temporary housing so rest assured that the animals I've mentioned will be carefully taken care of and loved. I wasnt going to post about the situation but since I had no where else to turn to and wasn't sure myself I figured this is the best place to get answers. Feel free to judge but as new pet owners we are all prone to mistakes and everything is a learning process but as long as we have the best of intentions for our pets i feel well be alright. Thanks for your concern and to those who replied. Out of courtesy and gratitude I will update you on guys on the situation.

We are only human and EVERYONE makes mistakes or can have a momentary lack of judgement. Fortunately, you found him and everything worked out ...
Pay no attention to those who assumed the worst and automatically want to label you on a mistake. They oobviously feel the need to judge instead of trying to help resolve the issue. Seems to be a problem on this site and makes others not want to ask or share due to such harsh criticism!
Lesson learned and Happy Holidays :snake:
Fyi...the heat pad and food scent in the middle of the room was a great idea, I actually used a similar technique to find a missing Beagle while field hunting once...used my coat and my last sandwich and the lil bugger was there the next morning lol

Same, additionally it was very difficult to read. Like he started his post mid-conversation, haha.
