This is going to be hard...

I've been fearing this day for a while, but it seems it is here.
My life will be changing somewhat drastically in the next several months, I will be graduating with my associates in applied science, and moving into my new diagnostic imaging program for the next 3 years. I'm moving, changing jobs, really shuffling around my life.
What really pains me, I don't think Scarlett can be a part of these changes... Kimo of course you will have to pry from my cold, dead hands, but Scarlett just doesn't fit into these plans. Please don't make this anymore difficult on me, don't convince me to keep her, and don't rag on me for letting her go. Things are changing in my life, I have to make changes too.

Obviously, I want her to go to a good home. One that is both knowledgable, and caring. I won't just give her away, as she is worth some money, but this is more about going to a good home than money, but I would like to get back what I have into her, etc.
I will also be selling her enclosure.
For her, I'm looking for $200 + shipping, I will split shipping costs with you. Of course I would rather someone local, but shipping is possible.
For her enclosure I'm looking for $250, everything included, or $400 for both.

For those of you that aren't familiar with her:
-She incredibly well mannered, never, ever bitten anyone while under my care
-Perfect one piece sheds every time
-Eating machine, on 380g f/t rats (XXL)
-5 years old
-7.5' long
-Completely 100% healthy

Her enclosure:
-4x2x3.5
-Water sealed
-Built in pvc climbing branches
-3w fluorescent day light
-75w red heat bulb
-150w ceramic heat bulb (all light built in)
-digital thermo/hydro meter
-large hide
-soaking tub
-large pothos plant
-etc





I know this probably belongs in the classifieds, but I'm hoping this is a somewhat special circumstance. She is my loved pet, I want what's best for her. Any questions please ask, I'd really like her to go to someone on here... thanks everyone.

Sad day...

Re: This is going to be hard...

Is it possible to ship to Canada? I'm assuming by the name Scarlett it's a she, correct?

I think so, if you gave me your shipping information I could look into it.
Yes, she is my big girl.

Re: This is going to be hard...

pity your not in the uk,as i've always had a soft spot for her

i'd take her into my collection if it were possible

re your dilemma
you have to keep things in perspective mate

your about to start the next stage in your journey that will set up the rest of your life

as long as you get her a good home,then imo you have nothing to feel guilty about

you've always done your best by her as i'm sure her new keeper will do

you have to focus on the days ahead

i wish you all the very best with your move and your new job

cheers shaun

You are another person I would really love to see her go to, it really is too bad circumstances wont allow it. She just has something about her doesn't she?
Thank you for the kind words shaun. She wont go to anything short of a great home, but still I feel like im abondoning her. Im going to miss her, she really is a great girl.
The only reason im letting her go, is the fact that I know that she's easy to care for, and most could provide her with proper care if they had the means and knowledge. Kimo on the other hand takes great responsibility and work. He will be with me for

But you are right, my life is chamging and I need to focus on my future.

Thanks again for the support.

I promise to keep the pictures flowing.

Talked it over with Dorothy, I'm going to buy the lumber for a nice big enclosure this weekend.

Re: This is going to be hard...

That is such a relief! Nothing could make me happier in this situation!
This makes my day/week/month. So good to know she'll be going to a good home, and she'll still be in the family

So happy...
