How to start a reptile rescue

[andrewross8705]

Plenty of people "rescue" on their own, but they put their own money into getting the critters healthy and then finding suitable homes for them. What you'll need is:
- a job, because you'll need...
- money, for vet bills and specialized equipment,
- a good local exotics vet,
- the understanding that you can't save them all.

As it was also mentioned and it's said to a lot of people in general who are still living at home and want to convince their parents to let them get a reptile or specifically, a snake. You're living under your parents roof, it's their house so you'll have to respect their rules and what they say. Don't push the issue or just come home with a reptile in the hopes that they let you keep it because it's already home. To be honest, I wouldn't start a "rescue" while you're going through school and college. Wait until you're out on your own, have the money, the space and time. It sounds like you're going to start only to have to stop.
