Sounds like you saved yours from a bad situation! That's awesome! We got Andrea (the giant) in a pet store that specializes in reptiles and amphibians, but she was in a tiny enclosure with another white's that had a sore on her lip. We were going to get the other, but the sore made up nervous. When we realized that Andrea (the giant) had a club foot, it was all over! We had to have her!
