I haven't been fit to be a herp. owner.
Recently have been slacking on upkeep and such and realized that my red tail boa's enclosure has been noticeably affect by mite presence. It's been hard taking care of her in a Chicago apartment (keeping proper temperatures in with a layout like mine and window exposure is getting to be impossible). I feel like a jerk and a failure in terms of herps and I know after my move to the city, my ability to keep herps was greatly strained. I don't think I can give her the life I'd like her to have. I have an increasingly difficult couple of months ahead of me (ie moving, schedule changes, and a lot of finacial responsibilities I'm taking on). I was wondering if anyone in the Chicago area would be able to take her in. There will be no adoption charge: screw money, I want her to have a good life. This is critical and ASAP. I will be able to drive to surrounding areas within a reasonable distance but mostly likely something can be worked out if you're anywhere near Chicago or the northern suburbs. We can figure it out.
Let me know and thank you. Definitely needs to be someone that has worked with mites before and boas, someone that can handle the financial responsibility, obviously not an undertaking for an amateur. Thank you for your time and if you'd like a beautiful boa in your life that you feel you can give a better life, please post. Thank you again.
