Got a message from an exotic reptile rescue last week about some Ts that had been dumped off. The dude was like "We got 4, would you be interested in adopting”? I said hell yeah, I'll take em all. He was pretty happy to find them a home. I got the impression he wasn't quite sure what to do with them, lol.
Texted me a pic of a stack of those little sandwich containers with red lids you get from the dollar general, so I thought "Oh cool, slings. I'll get some boxes ready". Prepped 4 sling houses and went to get them saturday.
They were adults. In 6x4x2 tupperware containers. No sub, no water, and live crickets in with the Ts. The tubs were covered in a layer of grime and the interiors were completely webbed up. They had been in there for more than just transport. Whoever surrendered them had an adult OBT and an M. balfouri in those things, along with a P. sazimai and a GBB. The GBB was so ready to molt, it was almost black under the setae. It started laying a molt mat literal seconds after I got it into a proper tub and flipped over like 15 minutes later.
After a bit of running around to get some sterilite tubs and a couple bags of substrate/cork bark/etc, I had to rehouse a *very* angry OBT and balfouri, a surprisingly chill sazimai, and a very cooperative GBB.
Very happy to have these Ts in a better home, but I kinda wanna punch someone in the face over those tubs, lol.
