I just wanted to upload some pics of my new rescue gulf boxie hatchling that I got from a terrible pet shop that was keeping them in horrendous conditions.
He just spent a month in quarantine and now was put into his new enclosure with my other boxie! So far he's been doing great!ImageUploadedByTortForum1388686722.768882.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1388686745.459431.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1388686766.248816.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1388686780.846206.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1388686793.718977.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1388686812.507424.jpg

Yes it's true and it makes me sad my little guy was one of 7 in the tank and was the only one that showed any signs of life. All the others were dried out with cracked sunken skin and eyes swollen shut. :( I wasn't planning on getting another boxie but I couldn't help it. I wish I could have taken the others but to be honest they were already too far gone and I wanted to get him out of that situation, before he got to the same condition.

Glad you helped that little guy. I'm glad they're not legal to sell here, because I'd be in all the pet stores buying all of them.
