Help on buying/rescuing a new bluey?

Postby SailleSkinklover » Tue Jan 01, 2008 7:30 pm

OK, guys, I did what I shouldn't have, and surfed Craigslist and found this guy: (check out the link)
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pet/524415609.html

He's 50 bucks and the thought of him in a 20 gal is so sad, its exactly what Chuffie was in when I got him.
Are there any North end Oregonians or South end Washingtonians that could or would save this guy?

Tony is pretty darned adamant on NO MORE LIZARDS until at least spring. And frankly, we are sort of running out of room. . .but $50 for a Bluey. . . It Hurrrrrtttttssssss. . .
Any suggestions/help?

just buy it, its easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission, also give the fella selling it a knuckle sandwhich(after you buy the lizard!).
works for me.

Or if maybe if there is someone that isnt close by that is interested, someone in the area can buy it for them and then ship it to them (not at their expense of course. The person wanting it pay for both skink and shipping).

I would help you out, but I have plans already to purchase one more with in the month. Good luck. Hopefully someone that knows what they are doing will get the little guy and give him a good home.

Noooo, I didn't get him! Tony wouldn't let me, ( He'd freak if another cage with a lizad showed up out of nowhere, and it wouldn't be fair to him, really. )

I did email the people and tell told them to post it on this site, because I trust everyone on this forum to take excellent care of their blueys.
I never heard back or got any sort of reply whatsoever.

I hope that Bluey got a great home, and maybe the person who got him will find this site! :)

Heh, Tony's not your typical male human, hence why I chose him as such a wonderful mate! :shock: :oops: :) (but it can make certain things a little more difficult. . . such as lizard purchase! He does know that I will have a Shingleback someday though and that is non-negotiable, so he's prepared for that fact. )
