READ BEFORE GETTING MAD-

This is my baby barbaque. He is wild caught- however before people come for me he is partially disabled due to an incident a while ago. His name is barbaque because a while ago my sister heard croaking coming from the barbaque (while it was on smoke) and quickly went to investigate. He was inside! She did not immediately take him in, but about a month later I found him wandering around and noticed he was thin and looked rough. I took him in, checked him over, and found the burn scar he has on his side and part of his vocal sack. Due to the injury to his sack- he cannot fully expand it like most can, so he would never be able to mate or warn others of predators, on top of that he struggles to find food. He's doing great now in a 10gal tall terrarium, eating fine (but he can't find food so he eats out of a bowl) and is a good weight. Anyways, I love him a ton and here are some pictures of him.

It sounds to me like you saved his life! He wouldn’t have been able to thrive with those wounds. It’s a miracle he survived at . Now he’s got all the food he wants and a nice house to live in. Doesn’t sound like a reason to be mad about.

Some people get mad at wild caught animals even with good reason
