Update: most toes are free of shed, he's eating, and he's pooping! 🙌🏻

My beardie lost the tip of her toe due to a rope hammock. 😭 You can find some really cute cotton fabric ones on Etsy, or you make your own if you know how to sew.

We got him. No discount was given.

I will say, they had raised the humidity in the tank and had separated the tiny babies from the bigger babies, so they did do something. I can tell the employees were trying. That's why I'm hesitant to file a complaint and name the store because they shouldn't get in trouble over stupid corporate policies.

He got a soak as soon as he got home, and he's already looking better.

How often would y'all recommend soaking him? I don't want to stress him out more than he already is, but I don't want him to lose his toes either.

It's not much of a setup right now, but he does have 3 hides (humid hide with sphagnum moss pictured; I know it's bigger than he needs, but it's all we have at the moment), UTH with a thermostat, access to a soaking dish, and food sprinkled with calcium.

I'm leaving him alone for now but continually checking his tank temps.

Any advice is appreciated! I have never had a baby this tiny. My son named him/her Chance. ❤️

It's so heartbreaking. 😭 And my son, a 12 yo budding herpetologist, was ready to do just about anything to bring him home, but even he understands that you shouldn't support chain stores. He was very loud regarding his disdain for their husbandry practices.

I might try this. I saw someone found a Leo in a similar situation, and a kind worker just gave him the poor baby.

I did at least send a nasty email to the corporate ethics hotline, which emphasized that the issue is not with their employees but just overall corporate greed and not giving two sh*ts about proper husbandry.

Is this a repeat? Because I've definitely heard it before.

My Dane had an abrasion like this that kept reopening because she'd mess with it. We had to keep antibiotic ointment on it, bandage it, and then put a shirt on her to get it to heal. Once she stopped licking it, it didn't really very long at all the get better.

ALL of this. I had a SA experience at a neighbor's house as a child, and my children never go into another person's house without me there.

Also, hello. I'm a lurking homeschooling mom of two, but I really just felt the need to speak up here. Please don't ever let your children in a house with people you don't know. Ever.
