I hope you can get them back to healthy. I'm curious, how do you know she went to school for herpetology? (and for how long? maybe she slept in class or
flunked out...?) Anyway, the same thing happens with dogs & other animals...people get them for the wrong reasons, like "looking cool"...all living creatures
deserve the best care we can give. Anyway, you learned from your past mistakes...I hope she does too.
