well i had been eyeing him for about 2 months and i didnt want to but it from a pet store but they were going out of business and i went there the last day there were open. I was looking at it and they asked me if i bought it would i need a tank for it i said yes so they told me they would sell me that tank and everything in it for 30 bucks and the burm was in it so i was like ok... I guess they didnt think it was going to live. So anyways i call it a rescue cause of the shap it was in.
