hey, i sent you an email but i thought i'd post some general info here for anyone else. I know that the average rate to board one snake is about 8 bucks a nite, around 6 if you have your own cage. and they usually want the $ up front if its going to be a long stay. we had to board our big burm for a week or so when we moved, his cage broke. It was expensive and we were terrified that we wouldnt get the snake back when we had to build him a cage, and the owner of the pet store wouldn't sign a contract saying that we'd get him back. it was scary for us and expensive. it was over 60 bucks to shove my snake in a little cage for a week and not give him any attention. when we went to pick him up, they had to unbury his cage to get to him. i was shocked. i haven't ever had to board snakes before but i'd heard good things about the store and they have a lot of high end reptiles like chondros and emeralds and surinam RTs. he was still healthy and didnt have mites so i guess it wasnt that bad but now he has a huge cage in the lr and is happy as can be. anyway- i also want to say- i offer boarding to anything. i usually charge 3 $ a week for a snake plus food (if any) and 4 $ a week for a lizard/monitor. if its going to be a long stay, we can work out price details, no biggie. we also have options like paying with baby snakes and what not since i know not everyone has cash when they need to put a snake up for boarding. i also can write up a contract saying you'll get your babies back. my website is www.freewebs.com/okreptilerescue anyway- i can board just about anything.... just thought i'd put some gen. info out there.
