I have good news and better news.
The project manager for our basement repairs came over Monday. We are picking materials out next week and then 3-5 weeks to complete the work. That's the good news.
The better news is the project manager has a kingsnake and a bearded dragon and grew up with a Boa. He wanted to meet some of the crew (loved Solana, Yafe, Jeff and Frank, and held them). He 100% gets how important the reptiles are to me and respects them as living creatures. He's going to set up the schedule so there will two days of work that they reptiles will be moved upstairs for, followed by 5 days of back in the tanks for them. Then 2 days upstairs, and 5 days back in tanks, etc. until the job is complete. I told him okay if it takes longer, not okay if the reptiles have to suffer.
He's on board with that plan and when there will be dust in the air and/or they are putting up ceiling or flooring in the reptile area, the reptiles will be out. Otherwise, he will work around them and cover their area (not their tanks).
I couldn't be happier with his approach and his willingness to work with us.
Looking forward to a new basement and happy reptiles.
