Sad goodbyes

[Gungirl]

Aww Shaun My thoughts are with you!! I really hope you get the job and the family can breath a little easier.

Shaun religious or not I am praying you get that. Maybe you will be able to save enough to immigrate to to where ever you heart desires! When opportunity knocks kick the door down and hog tie it so it don't get away.

It is an independant place, they sold me the lizards originally (and all my snakes and all my vivs) and are a fantastic shop. The owner refuses to sell anything bar cornsnakes to people that he doesnt know, he has banned sells to new customers in December (so no Xmas pets) also.

THey spend most of their day chatting to customers and offering advice and guidance than they do selling! If you have a non-eating reptile they dont charge to take them in and get them feeding, they do reptile boarding for holiday coverage, the owner keeps multiple hots, breeds king cobras, was at one point the main breeder of GTP's in the UK and every reptile in the building is treated as a pet rather than a stock item - they are pretty much everything that you could want in a reptile shop!

Rob. I recently had to make some similar tough decisions. No one can judge, all we can try to do is what's best for us and ours. Keep your head up buddy! I think some pics of your two gorgeous pythons in their new enclosures are definitely dueee!

Will do - but first we need to strip everything that was in those enclosures for the lizards, bleach/sterilise all the decor, transfer the CHE's fron the snakes current vivs, redecorate the new vivs with a mixture of the stuff from the lizards vivs and the stuff from their current vivs - and its Xmas!!! We also aren't in any hurry!!

Of course of course. First things first. Hope u and your family, human and fauna alike, have a wonderful holiday.

do you know any of the company names mate ?

its open cast mining i do

i think the australians call it open pan mining

instead of going underground you dig a huge hole,take the minerals then fill it back up and leave the place as you found it looks wise

will definatly check canada out

your advice is much appreciated mate

cheers shaun

The oil sands here in Alberta work that way. I'll look into company's doing this and give you name after I get a shower after a days work.

I know shell is one
Suncor is another major one
