Default 0.0.2 leo's free - rescues

I have two leo's that i rescued from a local person a few months back.

they are both adults and both have been very badly neglected, basically to the point of starving to death.

One, although underweigh still, is feeding (but not brilliantly) and im confident will make a good recovery.

The other one is considerably worse. s/he is suffering from some form of neurological disorder. Feeding is very difficult and has to be fed by hand, and even then sometimes s/he is not interested. i have sucssesfully mangaed to feed crix, waxies, mealies etc at somepoint but i think a ''baby food on nose'' diet is the only way. Maybe it is cruel to continue with this one? but i had to give it a chance. s/he has shown no signs of improvement but also no signs of the condition worsening.

Basically, i took these on because they were offered and i had to do something for them but i am not a lizard person really and it may sound harsh but i dont want to spend all my time on them (and they do take alot of time) I see myself as the kinda middle-man, iv done my bit and the one thing left is to find someone who can properly nurse them back to health and someone who is experienced enough to decide wether or not it is fair to continue with the worse one. as i said i am not a lizard person and so i lack experience i feel.

I have cleaned up there unshed skin, kept them warm, fed them the best i can, and observed them

These must go to someone who knows there stuff, i have done the basics and now need an ''expert'' to take over.

I cant supply anything with them.

I want nothing in return apart from a good home.

any interest?
