That's just terrible, but glad you got it back so no it has a chance.

How hard is it to just go to one stinkin' website to research basic care? When I was 12 and wanted a Green Iguana, I did research for 3 months before getting a rescued sub-adult; I was going online, reading books, and asking pet stores/other iguana owners. I know CHILDREN who own corns and are in perfect health! Sometimes people can just tick me off.
