the lizards are tough to handle. their cages smell like crap and they all are looking very skinny. i'm going home in two weeks though, so hopefully they'll be okay til then. but the cages are looking horrible too. i think i just need to put them in a temperary cage for a day or two and clean the cages and put new sand in and stuff like that. its depressing to see them now. they are all skinny, and its all dirty in there, and they're afraid of me now. i hope things work out when i get home. should i buy new cages?

I just don't understand Mike, I know there are some private things going on, but I dont understand why ya just dont CLEAN the cages when you at your Moms ???????????????

If you go there sometimes, How do you let them stay that way?

I'm not trying to sound mean, believe me, I have tried so many times to contact you, I have posted, I have called your Moms.

You KNOW she will NOT TOUCH THEM !

When you told me on here last time they were going to die, they had not been cleaned in months, and would I help you, and take them I said yes, and Called. And no one ever got back to me ??

I do hope if you are finally going home, that things work out, I do care about you guys. I hope you can get things straightened out for yourselves and the lizards. Your Dad would have liked that.
I'm sorry we have to talk about this on here, but you don't have an email either.

But I dont know what else I can do buddy, You make a plea for help, then VANISH each time, for another month or so.

Anyway you will always be my little buddy, if it were me, NO I would not buy new cages, JUST CLEAN THE ONES YOU HAVE !

Put them in a box or something, and SCRUB THOSE TANKS OUT, GLASS CLEANS ! SO DO ROCKS ! AND FEED THEM, give them WATER, all the things you always did when you were there.

Your Dad used to tell me you took care of them by yourself,
YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.

SOMEBODY HAS TO , Mike !!

Have a friend come over...put the lizards in a small secure box...Have friend help you dump out sand in the back yard...fill with water...scrubb glass, dry tank, add clean sand...DONE. There is no more excuses for not cleaning your tanks or getting help.

Personally I think you should figure out how to get an e-mail address, and get back with people who have been trying to help you for months now. I personally don't like hearing about the same problem when the solution is staring you in the face.

My best advice to you is...Go to Yahoo.com
click on the mail icon and follow the direction. Then have someone e-mail you for help. If you can't figure that out, then I can't help you, and probably no one else can either.

Sorry for sounding mean, but you need to quit popping up and disappearing. You don't even sound serious anymore to me. You sound like you just want to stir up emotions with people that care about lizards.
