>>Hello,
>>
>>I posted something similar a while back asking for the advice/opinions of others.
>>
>>I thought it wouldn't hurt to give this a shot, so here goes:
>>
>>In August, I am shipping off for Army Basic Training. This has been both an exciting and horrible change for me. I am very attached to my pets and having to part from them is difficult. I currently have two dogs, a blue tongue skink, two ferrets, and a ball python.
>>
>>My mother does not mind caring for my dogs, so that is not a problem.
>>
>>My more "exotic" animals have become an unfortunate issue, however. My mother, nor anyone else I know, is willing to watch my high-maintenance ferrets or my reptiles.
>>
>>My ferrets will most likely have to find new homes and I am going to see if the breeder I got my BTS from is interested in him.
>>
>>But then there is my ball python. I've heard of other people getting breeders to "board" their snakes or letting them "loan" their snakes. I would not mind doing this if it was well planned and well thought out.
>>
>>I would not mind paying someone monthly to watch my ball python (08 spider male from BHB) and making arrangements of some sort if they were interested in breeding him.
>>
>>We would have to take into consideration what happens if my snake gets sick and needs to go to the vet, how any clutches would be divided, etc.
>>
>>If someone has any advice or suggestions, or is willing to work with me, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
