BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I have come into possession of a very sick/injured BTS. Not fatal at this point, but seems to be getting worse. She is 4-5 years old, has apparently been very healthy her whole life. Recently she started getting puffy/bloody eyes, they have recovered a bit since I have been caring for her, but still are looking rough, her front hands are the in very bad condition. the are bloodied and black. I have taken her to the vet 3 times and have gotten differnent medications that I have applied every day for weeks, but they never recovered.

Now I have considered putting her down, as I am not supposed to have reptiles in my apartment and I can't save her no matter how hard I try. But I could not live with myself if I did that.

So I am in desperate need of an experienced reptile owner who thinks they can handle this. I will give her away free of charge, all I need is the shipping paid for.

I really really don't want to put her down, but I don't have many options here. So please contact me FAST if you are wiling to help.

Please email me: acmeminer@gmail.com for questions. I will provide pictures as soon as I can.

Hey there, I sent you an email.

Please post your location here. If someone is local to you, they might be a better option than shipping such a poorly animal. Thanks!

Awe, I am so sorry for this poor little sweetie. I wish I was closure and could help. Have you tried contacting any local reptile rescue groups in the area to see if they could help? Thank you for trying so hard to help her. Prayers she gets the help it needs.
