I'm looking for some help. (Temporary Boarding)

Hey Y'all,

First off, thanks for all of your input. I truly appreciate it.

Ok, Didymus20X6 and EasternGirl, please understand I'm dealing with an irrational person in her 70's with a near hysterical fear of snakes. It won't matter how harmless they are or how far away IN the house it is. Also, the garage and basement has been converted to the living space that my wife and I will be living in so there is no other place for the snake, not that it matters because of what I mentioned above.

Didymus20X6 and Sonya610, I appreciate you letting me know about the law in GA but I don't think that will influence my wanting to keep Rex once I get set up down there. I don't completely disregard the laws of the land, I just think this one is not something I see myself doing time for. One snake, not breeding, not worries.

Didymus20X6 I will be moving to the Buford/Lawrenceville area. I believe it is an hour north east of Atlanta on a light traffic day.

I do have a friend in NC but he is not snake friendly and he and his wife are expecting their first so I do not want to impose.

If anyone else has any other suggestions I would really love to hear them.

Thanks again everyone.

John

You also could call vets and pet stores that deal with exotics and tell them you are looking to board your animal with a private individual for 3 months. I know there used to be a vet specializing in reptiles in that area. I would not mention that it is a Garter though, not until you are actually speaking with the person that might board it. Tell them you are trying to find someone that already has reptiles.
