    A Hard Decision

    I had to make a very tough decision this past week. Due to my upcoming retirement from the military and the additional hours I have to spend in college classes re-training, I am now required to be away from home Mon-Fri. I had to come to the conclusion that in the best interest of my pets that I needed to re-home them until such a time that my career and living situation becomes stable enough to allow me to keep pets again. I want to say special thanks to Frankie from Fat Boys Ball Pythons for taking the snakes and for having the patience to wait for me when I got lost on the way to the meeting point, and special thanks to one of my friends for adopting Crack, my Jack Russell. Sunday was a hard day for me because I kept walking in to my reptile room to check on snakes that were not there and Sunday night the foot of my bed was empty. I have already decided that once I get re-established I will return the favor by adopting 1 BP or boa and 1 dog from a shelter. I will also continue to be active on the forums so that I can continue to expand my herp knowledge. Thank you to all those who have helped, answered questions, and offered advice so far...

    Been there, done that.
    I had to give up my boas and dogs when I went to Vietnam, BUT
    at least I got to see my new born baby daughter the day before I left.

    Thank you for your sacrifice.
    Would you breed a wobbler dog even though it had a cool coat?
