heres the starter thread for those of you who dont have any clue what this is about: https://www.chameleonforums.com/makeshift-enclosure-ideas-73783/

soo, i went to petco to make sure they still had it, and they did, so i got all excited, but it was $90 and 50% off...soo i talked to the guy that head of the reptiles, and the manager, and found out they cant go any lower than 50% no matter what, "store policy"...and i could seriously get a healthy veiled for $45 -.- i then told them what was wrong with it and if it didnt get the proper care or vet care, it will die. on that note "oh, well if thats the case, ill take it to the vet" said the manager...SERIOUSLY!! YOU WAIT TILL IT CANT USE ITS BACK LEGS TO TAKE IT TO THE VET!!! and i was also told, now that it needs vet attention, they cant sell it...but sadly they dont know its not going to improve, and will have to be put down. i am crushed. i was seriously looking forward to nursing that little guy back to health, despite his limitations, and give him a new life, and now...he will more than likely be put down...

Amanda he lied to you. If there is a problem with a animal they can allow you to adopt it for free. I have done that with them a couple times just to get the poor animals out of there. Call the manager if he can get permission from corporate. maybe he will realize you aren't giving up. Also tell him you are a part of this forum, and will have lots of knowledgeable people to help you. If that doesn't work give him the forum info so he can see what is wrong with the little thing.
