Sad goodbyes
Today the time finally came when we had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome our two lizards. both their bulbs blew simultaneously and money has been tight for a few months now. 
Thankfully our local reptile shop (that i love!) has taken them and will sell them on our behalf for a small % of the sale price, in the meantime they are absorbing the cost of housing/feeding etc.
It does give us the opportunity to upgrade our GTP and JCP into 4x2x2 vivs as they are both getting to the point of us considering moving them anyway - will also leave us with a double arboreal setup that we can sell to see off the debt collectors for a couple more months

Re: Sad goodbyes
Sorry it had to happen but I hope they sell fast and you can make a profit off the viv. Good luck my friend.

Re: Sad goodbyes
You do what you gotta do what's best for you and the animals. It's a hard choice though. I hope they get rehomed soon

i know how you feel rob
the other night i put my 2 irians together (male and female) ,so i could turn the power off,on 1 of my tanks (electric bills are killing us)
i might end up selling everything and keeping only my diamonds,as they only require heat 4 hours per day and feeding 6 months of the year
that and the fact that diamond pythons are my favorite snake of all time
i am really sorry to hear you had to move your lizards on,i know how much you dotted on them mate
i hope things get better in the new year for you
all the best shaun

Re: Sad goodbyes
Thanks for all your support guys - the fact that people are understanding rather than critical makes things a little easier.

imo,theres NOTHING to be critical about (your honesty is refreshing mate )
no one should ever be critical,of some one doing the RIGHT thing rob
its what any responsible head of a family and reptile keeper would do,when placed in your situation,that being your doing whats best for all concerned.
it's bound to have been a tough and horrible decision to make
i know it's getting really tough for me,now i'm down to snakes, i NEVER want/wanted to part with,or at least until i use/used them in the breeding projects,i originally aquired them for.but it's getting real hard to justify,the money going out on electricity bills at the minute rob,its soul destroying having to cut down the collection,for something as crappy as an electric bill.yet this is where i find myself (frustrating times,this whole countrys heading for the crapper )
cheers shaun
