Huge problem, scared, don't know what to do...

[sweety314]

Sorry to hear that things are at such an "all-time low" for you!!! It's too late to check into things, but I may be able to help with some prey...as long as U don't care it's FT.

However, something to keep in mind, that should help ease your worries a wee bit, is that if you don't feed your pets every single week it won't "kill 'em". In the wild, they don't eat every five, seven or ten days, and even with disease and parasites, the species have still managed to survive. I'm NOT suggesting that you starve them, but to space out the feedings a bit would ease the pinch.

I have classes literally all day tomorrow (won't be home until almost 1700), but when I get back I'll look into whether I might be able to spare and can send some mice/rats to WA. What sizes are your balls and corns eating?

Hang in there!

A question to honestly ask yourself, are you applying everywhere?

Sometimes pride has to be put aside. Even if it's fast food an minimum wage.

This is a good point. If you can't get hired at McDonalds...nobody is gonna hire you. Even Big Gunns once busted suds at a restaurant. If he can do that, you can make some happy meals. Good luck to you.

I'm so sorry for you, Argentra. I hope something comes up for you both, and you start to see some better times.

Keep in mind, you need to help urself first. There are options around out there with food and maybe even utility help. (Food banks and utility services.) Put your pride aside and look into these options. As a few others have said, don't feed the snakes every week.

Best of luck, if i think of something maybe i can help.

You may be able to file for bankruptcy. That's a tough pill to swallow but it prevents you from having your house and other property taken away.

Why is unemployment unavailable?

Sorry to hear about your situation.

I hate to hear that. When everything comes down to it, if worse comes to worse, it wouldn't hurt the snakes to skip a few meals. In the wild they often go weeks or months without food. At one point when I was unemployed we couldn't afford to feed all of the snakes as usual so we fed them every other week instead. The only ones we kept up the regular weekly feedings on were the FRESH less than a month old babies and that was mostly because they were so small I was worried about them skipping a meal.

Also while your credit is important and you should try and preserve it if you can. When it all boils down though, rent, utilities, and food are more important than credit card payments. I wish you the best of luck and you'll be in our prayers.
