yellow fungus disease can be treated. The picture above doesn't look like yellow fungus to me, more like a series of sores, perhaps from cricket predation or scale rot, or a combination of both.

I also feel that anybody willing to put the time, money and effort into bringing a reptile or any animal for that matter, from illness to good health deserves praise. True, it is always best to buy healthy animals from responsible breeders, instead of buying sick animals from owners who didn't give proper care (whether due to ignorance or neglect) but it is in the nature of good people to try and help those in need, which include these poor animals.

Would it be better to just euthanize them all just because it costs some money to get these animals back into good health? Should all animal rescues kill every animal brought over to them who are not already in perfect health to save money? I don't think so...BDLvr obviously doesn't think so, giving he spends plenty of time and money taking care of rescued animals who would have suffered a slow death otherwise, but now thrive under his care. Not to mention countless other rescues all around the country and world.

Each person must decide themselves how much they are willing and able to spend to ensure their pets are in good health. Its not something anybody else can recommend, to be honest. However there are animals that are too far gone that nothing could be done, no matter how much money or effort is expended. In this case, I don't think its too late.
