I think one of the bigger issues here is the amount of assuming thats happening. Reptiles truly dont need all that much time, especially if you have only one. Perhaps they thought they could manage and was only just managing to do so, but reducing the bts to a rubbermaid was the last straw for them and they genuinely realised that a bts was not the pet for them? Or it could be the other way around, they have been keeping him in a rubbermaid, and perhaps after finding out they supposedly 'grow to 2ft' (Now, unless if my ft to cm calcs are incorrect, they get no where near that big, no?) and thus couldnt be kept in a rubbermaid, they made up the whole tank breaking bit and chucked in the excuse of having no time (an excuse often legitimately used by people thinking in the best interests of their animals) so as to avoid scrutiny or abuse from any potential buyers after realizing their pet gets bigger then they initially thought? Thats the thing, we dont know.
Imo, no person should be scrutinized for admitting they can not care for their pet and trying to find it a good home. No amount of research equates to caring for the real thing - a new pet owner may end up with a pets thats the exception to everything they have read, for example, in which case they may find themselves incapable of adequate care, as everything they had been preparing for was made irrelevant. If they brought the pet knowing full well they could not care for it or afford it or whatever, far enough, but in this situation all they are saying is that they have no time - the reason as to why is not given, therefore assumptions will get us no where.
Now, Im not bashing the OP or any one person, but harsh, unnecessary assumptions without any real basis to go on is just a bit too common in these sorts of threads.
On a different note, I hope you get him! You really should be more regular around here you know, hahaha~
Post pics if you do
so he's stuck in a little thing right now. He should have atleast a 30 gal breeder tank or larger. He will get to be around 2ft in length. They are very friendly and inquisitive lizards. I would love to keep him but I just don't have the time for it. And since he is stuck in a rubbermaid right now I figure now is a good time to get him a new home. "
