Bad news and worse news

My demon child little brother managed to get into my room (I don't have a lock, my dad doesn't like them) even though I block the entrance with a filled large suitcase. My little brother is only 4. Anyways, he got passed my suitcase and into my room, moved the other suitcase infront of my monitors cage, and played with the locks at the bottom. Came home and found the bottom plexiglass bent and dirt outside the enclosure, he wedged himself through the bottom because the lock was twisted the other way (my brother admitted doing it, and I know it was him because last year he destroyed about 50 dollars of live plants in my fish tank because he wanted to "help clean out the green stuff")

Anyways, I gutted my entire room, disassembled furniture, checked every crevice, every drawer, everything. Hes not small enough to fit in the crack under my door, and my door was shut when I came home....I don't honestly have a clue where hes at. We are moving Wednesday so if hes still in the house he will be found. Hopefully hes still in the room and I overlooked it (doubt it), so Im gonna leave some smelly shrimp in his cage, and turn his basking light on.

Anyways, bad news number 2, sorry about the long post. One thing led to another about my little brother and this stupid system, so my dad told me to leave...so I'm moving out, which isn't bad news neccessarily, but you get the point.

Anyways, thought I'd let everyone know, and its probably my fault for buying a monitor with satan child in the house. And I didn't put a lock with a key was my second mistake.

When I find him, I'll probably give him to someone who knows what to do with him, if someone around the area of CT that posts here frequently would like him if and when hes found, shoot me a PM.

Had an exam today so im at school for now, i destroyed my room last night completely. Checked all the warm spots, the house has so many hiding spots is the problem. hopefully I overlooked something and hes still in my room. Theres no brightside , even when I find him I wont be able to keep him most likely if im getting kicked out... im so close to buyin a one way ticket to another country , But i have 3 weeks till i finish my degree...

Re: Bad news and worse news

did your brother leave the door open when he left your room? Could the monitor have gotten out while your brother was still in the room with the door open?

Nah he just played with the locks , each door has like 8 latches, and moved the ones that hold the bottom corner in place. The monitor squeezed through , could tell because the plexi is bent a bit and was dirt on and around it. Plus hes pretty skittish so he would have waited. Im stumped as to where hes at, weather was getting warm all week, the day he gets out its freezing and rainy

Crocdoc said its almost impossible to stay, and I wont find work. Arab countries worship american/english degrees and language. Last time I was there was offered jobs without my degree because they are so desperate for native speakers. But yea, I think wed all love to move to oz lol

I've got a mate out there working for a year in the hope of gaining a filull time job and I knw of lots of people who have found jobs out there and stayed ... So it can't b that hard ...if u look and find the right outlet and trade ... Of course zoos do loads of swaps and that is a good niesh to fall into if ur a zoologist or biologist ... As a zoo keeper myself you can find the work its just holding the job or beating the ozzys to the punch and being better
