Sean you might remember this

and your games are to be sent out mon-tuesday, i am very sorry for the delay, i have been very broke, again i am very sorry

anyways

i checked on him tonight and he was dead, didnt really suprise me, its good i decided to wait a few days befor i sent the gecko out, or else i'd be stuck with a dead dragon and she'd have a happy healthy leopard gecko

i suspected somthing was arong after i was told that beardies dont lose much weight after cooling/brumation this guy looked very emaciated and was lethargic

but what really pisses me off is that this woman IS TRYING TO BLAME ME! acting like i killed it on purpose, in all the years i been kleeping herps i've never seen anything like this

like i would kill a species of animal that i have adored since i was 4 1/2 years old, let alone any animal

this really pisses me off, no so much that the dragon is dead.,.but to blame me for its death..ridiculous...

That woman probably doesn't deserve to raise these animals.

It's ok for an animal that has been transported from state to state to be a little lethargic (this I have personally experienced when I recieved my first 2 saharan uromastyx). But the way you described it sounds like she probably does 1 of 3 things:

1. she either doesn't feed her animals enough, on a daily basis or at all.
2. she got him ready for shipping and forgot about him for 3 days .
3. she didn't properly ship him.

I'm betting she did all 3 things but that's just me.

2 saharan uro's-Orion and Iris
2 bearded dragon-Hades and Draco
1 leo gecko-Kalypso
1 tokaye gecko-Sid Vicious
1 tarantula-Peter Parker
1 dog-cheeka
1 zebra finch-beeps
1 african gray parrot-keya
1 red headed parrot-pancho
And some fish

I recieved one like that that I couldn't save too. Got it from a guy in California. To start with it wasn't even the same dragon and it's tailbone was showing and was small for its age. It lived for about 8 weeks but it died despite my efforts.

The one that I recieved like this a couple weeks ago is really coming out of it though. Sometimes there just isn't anything you can do.
