I had to make some personal descions in my life and will be going out of country for at least a year near the end of this August. As a result im going to have to find Monty a new home hopefully temporarily, probably permantly. Its the only alternative that i can think of, i cant really take him with me (for one thing i have no idea where excatly i'll be living and therefore cant assume they allow pets and also how would i feed him?)

i had thought about this coming when i bought him but it didnt even look like a remote possibilty at the time.

What should i do?

Do you have a close friend or family member who would be willing to foster him for you until you get home? (Someone you can trust with the husbandry aspects!)

well, my sister took care of him for a couple of weeks in the summer but that was totally different, i was 3 hours away and she was at home the whole time.

this time it'll be a different continent and for approximatly 10 months (on the low end) possibly more. BUT that is a good suggestion (i dont know why i didnt think of it) and i guess if shes willing and i train her properly over the summer then i would feel comfortable with that. i'll have to look into it. thank you

Still...is there anything else you can think of guys?

[recycling goddess]

send her to jo... jo will take care of her for ya.





hahahahahahaha (you are so welcome jo! - i know you love being volunteered for stuff)

Hey watch with the volunteering! LOL and poor Monty is a boy not a girlie snake (you'll give him a complex there Aleesha! LOL)

Actually Alex if you need a foster situation for him while you are out of the country you might think about placing him with someone on the forum that has the space for him. If you offered to cover his needs for a one year period upfront and then if you can't retreive him after that point he would become their snake to do with as they wish (either keep or place out for pet adoption) it might be a viable option. Just a suggestion...

Thanks so much for ur suggestions. first im gonna try convincing my sister then, as a backup plan giving him over to someone here, i guess.

either wway its not much fun for me, i just hope that hes taken care of.
