Grumps & Chomps, rescues 86 & 87

I found these two on a local ad and could not bring myself to ignore them. 



Grumps is a 3 year old male who is very "Aggressive." Chomps is a 2 year old female who has only one finger on her hand. Both were on sand and are very underweight. :( Chomps doesn't even have any fat pads on the back of her head. 



I gave them a bath and then put them in clean new -sand free- tanks with heat and brand new UVB lights. 

Then I caught them both eating! Yippee! 


Grumps is so malnourished that I'll bet that's why he's so grumpy. He did gape at me but showed no other signs of aggression. He is so incredibly thin that it's hard to look at him. :( 

Good food, good tanks & lights, and lots of love. That's the plan for now.
