(((((HUGS))))) at least you tried to save the poor beardie He was warm, and knew what love was, and he could finally relax. I am sorry that he didn't make it.
As for that lady, I would report her, there is NO excuse for doing that to ANY animal...of course, we all know that. Too bad the whole world can't just agree with us...This is so depressing.

Thanks for trying, I am sure that beardie was happier being in your care.
