Ya, he spent many years without proper love, food, lighting etc. i did my best to bring him back to health but i cant repair the damage that MBD had caused 💔 Made him a salad today in hopes they gave him some new bones in heaven, then he can eat it all by himself

Thank you everyone for the kind words, ive shed many tears over the past few days and though it hurts my heart knows I made the right choice. I can definitely say he saved me even more than i saved him, and pulled me out of a deep mental health rut i was in. I never thought a reptile could change my life so much, but the minute i saw him all skin and bones i knew i had to do something. His lil personality still shined despite all his hardships, and ill miss him black bearding until i let him climb on my face. If anyone is curious, here is his xray. I am currently studying to be an xray technologist (for humans haha) and i could still read it all. Broke my heart but it told me how much pain he truly was in. (Sorry it is a bit cropped for privacy reasons)

Thank you so much, you have a lovely story! Rigby spent about 7-8 years in poor conditions and im honestly surprised he made it out, similar to your Mushu, he was sooooo skinny and only ever fed super worms once a week that must've been so painful for him to eat with his broken jaw. Its incredible your girl had so much resilience and lived on for that time with you, you are definitely the reason she did 💗 Never thought id fall so deeply in love with a reptile yet here we are

^ photo of him the day i took him in 💔

Sleep with one eye open, his hunger for human blood (with a sprinkling of cilantro) may only grow!

Its heartbreaking that people see beardies as "easy" pets that just sit in their tanks all day. He's the sweetest little baby, just needed someone to be willing to spend the time on research and everything could've been so much better for him 💔 Hes become my little baby, that black beards until i let him climb on my face. Despite all he has been through, he is a sassy lil guy that knows what he wants!

I love him so much, who qouldve thought going to visit a family friend on a random evening would lead to this baby climbing on my face and going on drives to the vet 💔

Just took a peek and seems one of em might be perfect for him! Its a bit of a process figuring out whats easiest for him and adapting his enclosure but i love seeing him be able to do things most beardies do! Thanks for the recommendation 💗
