Well as some of you know I just graduated from Virginia Tech in May. I got a job in the poultry industry and just moved in last week. My boss and I had conversed about housing (as I'm living in the company house) and pet policies multiple times in the 6 months before I moved. I told him about both my dog and my geckos three times. The first time I mentioned it he said that he would have to double check with the head vet that geckos were allowed. Twice after that he told me that I could have them in the house and it would not be a problem. Well it turns out he lied.
When I moved in a week ago he came over to check on me and make sure I didn't need any help. He saw the geckos in the room and made some comments on them. Yesterday he told me that he wanted to have breakfast with me this morning. This morning we had breakfast and told me that he indeed hadn't checked with the vet until a few days ago and that the lizards were a biosecurity threat. I have a week to remove them from the house.
I've been angry before, but this is ridiculous. I have one week to rehome 10 leos. I was so close to telling him off. He even had the nerve to ask me what I was thinking after he told me I had to get rid of all of them.
So it boils down to I need leo homes fast. I'm located on the Eastern Shore of MD. If you're close by please let me know. Paul and Frank I know you two are in NJ and NY (if my memory serves). I will be up there this weekend. If you can help me out I'd truly appreciate it.
I have never shipped before and have no idea how to. So ideally I would like to do drop offs if I can, and I'm willing to drive a fair bit. I have family in Delaware, so if you're there or in eastern PA I could probably meet you somewhere.
As to what leos I have. I have 6 baby mack snows, 2 baby super snows, 1 adult super snow male (Link), and one adult mack snow het bell female (Shana). The hatchlings were incubated for female and are the offspring of the super snow and mack snow het bell mentioned above.
These are my kids, and my heart is breaking as I'm sitting here typing this. I know that y'all here on the board will give them the homes and loving care that they deserve.
Being as I have no internet yet at my new house this posting will be hard. My SO has the net so I'll have him checking this for me when I can't. PM me with any questions.
I appreciate any and all help you can provide.
Thanks everyone!
PS - I also have five ten gallon tanks; each with their own UTH, tile, and two hides. Let me know if you'd like any of them as well.
