This is a bit of a bizarre and desperate post but I'm down to the wire here. I have a beautiful four year old male ball python named Marshall who I love dearly. I currently live in Ashland, Oregon but am moving across the country on Friday. I had arrangements to ship him to me worked out but they ended up falling through and as far as I have been able to figure out there isn't time for me to find an alternative shipping method before I leave on Friday. I don't want to give him up, so what I'm looking for is someone who would be able to take care of him until I'm able to ship him when I come home for the summer in June. I am willing to pay whatever you think is fair for taking care of my ball python for about six months. He's a very sweet snake- a bit wary with strangers at first but once he warms up to you he's very loving. Really though at the bare minimum I just need someone who's experienced with ball pythons and would be willing to house him and feed him regularly. He's nearly five feet long, so he's obviously large for a male and has been growing quickly for a while now. He shouldn't outgrow his tank between now and June, though.

I'm obviously hoping there's someone on here who lives in the Rogue Valley. If anyone could take him in for me, help me out in any way, or just offer advice it would be massively appreciated. I'll pay as much as necessary for someone to give him a safe, temporary home. If absolutely necessary I could rehome him, but I'm hoping to be able to avoid that. I can obviously send pictures and details to anyone who might be interested. I've never posted on here before so thanks for reading this (:
