I'm wondering too. Just spent half hour reading the whole thread. Good on you kupper for doing whats best for the lacey.
I would be heart broken if i had passed one of mine onto someone to find it in a state like that. I would be taking it straight back.
Its a real shame the lacey had to be treated like this. Red lights? No mesh cover? That's appalling.
Makes you wonder how many poor reptiles are living in these terrible conditions. Some people just shouldn't be allowed pets.
