Hi all, I mostly just need to vent and complain to some like minded Cham folks. I went on vacation for about a month, I left my pets with the same pet sitter I have used for the past few years and they have always done an AMAZING job. Until this trip. Before leaving I showed them exactly what needed to be done for Jameson, left notes with as much info as I possibly could, and because they have watched my animals before with no issue I felt confident that everything would go smoothly.
Two weeks in I get a call saying that the linear UVB bulb “exploded” I thought it was strange but just let them know where his old dome UVB was and figured that could work for the rest of the time we were gone and I could worry about a new linear bulb when I got home.
Then around 4 days ago (the day we were flying home) I get ANOTHER call saying that the Mistking is malfunctioning and the timers weren’t working and the mist cycles weren’t happening. Also strange because it was working perfectly before I left home. But again, I just gave them instructions to use the hand mister at least 4 times a day. Flash forward to getting home that night, the linear bulb looks like it got dropped somehow and broke, and the mistking is no where to be found. So obviously some one was not being honest with what happened.
They’re insisting that bulb broke on its own and said THEY THREW MY MISTKING INTO THE GARBAGE BECAUSE IT BROKE AND THEY THOUGHT THEY WERW DOING ME A FAVOR BY GETTING IT OUT OF THE HOUSE.
Thankfully, Jameson seems to be okay, a little dehydrated but nothing too concerning.
it goes with out saying that they did not get paid, will be purchasing a new Mistking, and will not ever be left with my babies again.
Moral of the story don’t trust anyone with you Chams and never leave your house
