I figured I would let all of you know....

I figured I would let all of you know that I have decided that graduate school at LA Tech is no longer making me happy, so me and Katie are making arrangements to move back to South Louisiana by the end of June. Because of the unknown housing situation right now and the difficult task of finding a place to live in South LA, we have decided that it would be best if I sold my collection of reptiles before things start to get really crazy with the move....so if you see all my animals up for sale in the next week or so you will know why.

This is definately not the end of me keeping reptiles, so I will still be around on bp.net admiring everyone else's collections and figuring out what kind of collection I would like to have when stuff settles down.

I just thought that I would share.

Bummer about having to sell the collection, man! Hope you're able to get settled into a place soon that you can have your snakey kids back! Have you thought at all about a fostering type situation?

Good luck with the move! Keep us posted!

Thanks Ken. I did think of the fostering situation....but I really don't have any 'reptile friends' nearby to look after things for the next 4-5 months .....and I have no clue how to work out a 'long distance' foster type situation. Let me know if you have any ideas, but even if a foster situation were to work out, I will still be cutting numbers.

Hope you find good people for th kids, and good luck getting moved and settled in.

I could probably foster one for you if you'd like. I don't know the details either for fostering agreement - but I feel it's the least I can do. Just let me know!

I could foster quite a few if you'd like.....I have a whole room for my snakes and a ginormous living room that's half empty. If you want my digits, just pm me.......

That's a real bummer Daniel. I don't know what I'd do if I had to sell all of mine..

I hope you are able to get settled soon so you can start herping again!

If your website is up to date, it looks like you've got about 12 bp's. I'm sure there's enough people on this site to foster most, if not all. Or maybe a couple could go out on breeding loans if they're old enough.

I could take all the BP's, Daniel. I've got plenty of rack space for a doz...

(Actually I am down to only 6 BPs now since 4 of my other females are on their way to Jamie tomorrow evening)

The beardies are my main concern at the moment, since they take a little more time....and alot more space.

I am still hesitant about getting rid of all my snakes, so I want to 'feel out' the housing situation a little better first.

Daniel,

Sorry to hear about you having to get rid of the rest of the collection, but it seems like its going to be for the best in the long run. Let me know if you need any help at all.

Sorry to hear that you are planning on selling the collection Daniel. I hope you guys get to settle down soon with jobs and restart the hobby again :colbert2:

man, thats a real bummer Daniel, im sorry to hear that. gosh, i cant even imagine having to give my collection even though its not even a quarter of what your original collection was.

sometimes sacifices need to be made but... they can bring great joy and many more opportunities- in the end... if you aren't happy, then you need to change something (which you are).

it takes a lot of courage to create change in your life!

in light,
Aleesha
