I have always wanted to White Throat I see one that someone had a long long time ago and feel in love but for some reason never got one till a couple weeks ago. The down side is this guy was abused, neglected. A good freind of mine had him from the time he was a baby. I seen him about 2yrs back and he was an awesome animal, tame as can be and his size was enough to impress anyone. Well my freind decided to sell him due to space limitations and he has 2 other HUGE waters that dwarf this guy. He had offers for up to $600 for him and wound up selling him to a freind for $300 because he trusted the freind. Well a year later this freind calls my buddy up and asks if he can sell the monitor as he is getting out of reptiles. My buddy says sure, trusting his freind he picks it up at his house on the way to a show doesnt even look at it. Well at the show we get it out of the bag and you should have seen this poor thing. Skin stuck all over skinny as can be dehydrated, It looked like a VERY bet up fresh import. Anyway we worked a deal and I got him. Hes eating great calming down ALOT and slowly bu surely looking better a few more months and I dont think youll be able to tell. I have had him for the last two weeks in a 54inch vision cage, way to small for this animal. Finally I finished his new cage its a bi level that is 8x4x4 with a second level that is 2x4 a 3ft water tub and plenty of room to move about. In time I wanna get some drift wood like trees for him to climb. But just thought I would share. Jason
