    moving soon, need a snake-sitter

    my lease is up on my place and i'm moving back home for a while. my parents hate snakes, and it doesn't seem like this time i'll be able to talk them into letting me keep mine there. i was wondering if anyone would be willing to snake-sit for a couple months until i get my new house.

    i'm in the detroit-royal oak area in michigan.

    normal (i guess) ball python, name is 'ka'. probably 6 months old, about 20" long, great eater (1 live mouse a week, sometimes 2).

    don't have a scale, so i don't know the weight, and i'm not as hardcore as some herpers on this site, but i do follow the caresheet pretty well, and ka seems pretty healthy. i know this is kind of a strange request, but i love ka, and i don't want to let just anyone hang on to him.

    any thoughts of alternatives would be appreciated, too.

    It might help to mention wether or not you will still be living in Michigan or not.Also what type of enclosure he is in so someone can figure out if they have room.Also how long do you think it will be before you are living on your own once again.You need to also discuss how you will compensate the person for his food and if they need a little cash for doing this for you.Good luck
