    A lot of people like to throw the word "rescue" around with reptiles when really all they did was purchase an animal from someone who they think isn't caring for it properly. Sure makes her sound better though, doesn't it? Like she rescued these poor animals and this is the thanks she gets.
    I think in the 2 years I've been on online forums/groups, I've only seen two actual adopted rescues from a shelter or reptile rescue. But I've seen people call their store/craigslist purchase a "rescue" at least 50 times. LOL
