UPDATE pics of "Slevin", my rescue!
I couldn't help but share a few quick pictures of "Slevin" (previously "Sam").
Rescued him from a local YMCA who had him as a class pet (took over a year of convincing before they let me take him). Was kept on hamster bedding, nothing covering the mesh top, approx. 20% humidity and NO heat source. Plus all he had was a large half log and a "rock" water bowl covered in algae. He rarely ate, was severely dehydrated, under weight, and had a LOT of stuck shed.
Brought him home, set up everything correctly, and got the stuck shed off. I've been feeding him every 5 days for almost one month now. He's an aggressive eater and has yet to refuse a meal with me! :)
(This was one week after I brought him home, right before I helped get his shed off)

And this was about 20minutes ago :)
Not so great pictures because he DID NOT want to stay still and was very curious of my camera.
Now, if I set him down next to me he'll crawl straight into my lap lol

It definitely is :) he comes right up to the front of his tank when I walk by, such a curious little one! I just wish I had the funds to save more.

Thank you! I was amazed at how quickly he bounced back, especially considering when I brought him home he was so skinny I felt like I'd break him just holding him. Not only was his spine protruding, it felt like he had practically zero muscle mass :( Still have a ways to go, though!

Thanks! His "triangle shape" is almost nonexistent now! :)
People really just don't understand til they own one. When I brought him home I loved him but thought everyone was crazy for saying BPs are like drugs.. now I'm hooked like no other.. lol
