: ok ok, if they get sick i will take it to a vet. I am not going to take it to one now cuz its just fat and looks like he is fine. Do not worry i would never let a pet suffer.

: : is that there are simply things that cannot be done by the average herp enthusiast, Doug. You have specifically stated that you have no interest in caring for this or any other ig as far as taking it to a vet for a checkup. This is completely and totally irresponsible. Would you do the same for a dog or cat ? There's no reason to think that ANY reptile whether exotic or native has any less worth than dogs or cats - pets are pets. You should at least TRY and respect them for that.
: : If anything negative comes out of your ignorance and unwillingness to care for them properly please feel free to hold yourself totally responsible for your actions. There are simply things that you cannot deduce from your bathtub, or enclosure, or anywhere else at home.
: : And since they are not up for adoption, I will formally retract any offers, whether expressed or implied, to either assist or personally adopt any of your animals. In other words, clean up your own mess.
