    Yes I'd have to agree that one is nice.

    Lets see, for the site I'd need something smaller. 500 x 500 at the most. (If that makes sense).

    Maybe something with just some fancy text and maybe a texture on it. The websites colors are mostly different shades of greens, if that helps any.

    Those are some cute sayings for t-shirts. We have very limited experience with rescue but basically know up front that it can be expensive and heartbreaking...it can also be very rewarding. Unfortunately you can't take a rescue in only because you know ahead that someone will adopt it because bascially most of the time you won't know for sure. You may have to keep the animal and care for it for a long time until a proper placement can be found. Be very picky on who gets the rescues as they've already obviously been through a crappy owner and don't need another. Find a good herp vet that will work with you. Ours gave us a special rehabbers discount. Make sure you have access to both mice and rats, frozen/thawed, pre-killed and live as you won't know what any particular rescue will accept so you have to be able to either have those on hand or be able to buy them locally. Hope you don't mind me asking but how many years have you cared for your own snake collection and how many snakes do you currently have. Don't forget about strict quarantine procedures so your currrent collection is not put at risk by the rescues.

    That is an issue I am working with my friend on. She says what ever animal is deemed unfit for any reason by her to go to an owner she'll keep. Which isn't good and I am trying to explain it to her, that she can't have all these rescues and then possibly take in more.

    I do have a few herp vets in the area and will be talking to them once we're in the stages of getting things read to do.

    Good Idea with the feeders, I have a problem with getting live feeders and for $6.99 a mouse at the pet shop, they'll get pricey. I didn't even consider that aspect of it. So it seems a breeding colony is a must.

    Nope I don't' mind you asking and I'll be honest with you. I've had 2 snakes in my life time, my two current corns that I've had since July. Other than that I've had a box turtle and a painted turtle over the years. My friend who is helping out with this has 6 iguanas and started 4 years ago with them.

    It's an issue with me because I am afraid by my lack of knowledge with certain species/animals will hinder our rescue. I mean i am good at following instructions and will do what it takes to set up a proper environment. I do realize i need more experience.

    I've been trying to join a local herp organization, but am having trouble getting information off their website. I'll have to go the paper route. We don't expect this to be up and running for a bit (year maybe two, or more, if in my case and lack of experience with some lizards, snakes, etc.).

    Anyway thank you very much for all the questions. It's putting thing in prospective for me and is just driving me to want to work harder!

    Thanks!!!

    Thank you! We used Yahoo! Site Builder. It's pretty neat, they have tons of templates.
