    Unhappy I dont know what to do.

    I dont know if this goes into this part of the forum but oh well. Just got word that we have 3 months to be out of of military houseing. Sadly we were not able to get a loan on a home and we will be moving into a slum appt. untill we can make ends meet.

    I cant have reptiles any more. I dont know what to do. everything has to go including my cat and my fish. (due to one fish being non native)

    any ideas as what I can do for my reptiles would be great. I dont want to let them go to a bad place.



    I feel so lost. I was hoping that this move would be the start of a great new life but this has turned into a nightmare.

    Thank you for letting me vent and for any advice you give.

    Re: I dont know what to do.

    do you have to get rid of all your animals because you can't have them in the apartment you will be moving to? (i'm just wondering if there is any way you can at least keep some of your pets.) you can rehome your reptiles if you have to--you have 3 months to look for good homes for them--i'd start now so you don't get stuck making a last minute decision--this way you can take your time and place them with good, responsible owners. sorry your move isn't turning out to be so hot.

    Very sorry that things are not going well for you. Good luck in rehoming your animals. Hope that there is a way you can keep some of them.

    Re: I dont know what to do.

    Thank you all. the limited funds we will have once the army finishes its *** ****** of my husband will leave us with 2 options. We can get an ok appt. that wont allow any pets (giving us money to save for a house someday) or we can get a nice place that will alow my snakes but then we wont have the money for food for them or vet bills. I would rather they go to good homes that can afford to feed and care for them. if they stay with me they wont get there weekly meals and could suffer.
    I want what is best for them.

    Problem #2: my fedex guy still has not called me back. so I'm not able to ship. so things have to be local or simi local. most of the snakes i have are rescues from this city and I dont trust any one here to know how to properly care for them.

    Re: I dont know what to do.

    Jessie, why do you have to leave on-post housing? And how much is the BAH for his rank and your zipcode? With BAH, BAS, and basic pay, you should be able to get a decent place that allows pets since cost-of-living around Fort Gordon is pretty low, and still feed/care for your pets.
    Animals are my passion and my life.

    Never, ever underestimate the vital importance of strict and proper quarantine. There is no such thing as being too careful. One mistake can cost a world of damage, and regret that lasts a lifetime.
