Got my baby Sulcata today!

Posted by Joey Buchan on October 13, 2000 at 20:50:21:

Just wanted everyone to know I got my baby Sulcata today. He arrived via UPS this morning. I was SO excited until I opened the box and found him almost frozen to death. He was cold to the touch...felt like an icecube! I put him under the heat lamp and tonight he is moving around a little (a very little). He doesn't open his eyes that often and he refuses to eat. I'm hoping most of this is the stress of the trip and that by tomorrow morning he'll be ok. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has this ever happened to anyone on here before and should I worry about any long term effects because of the col? Thanks for everyone's help!

PS... I named her Kianga (it's an African name for sunshine!) :)
