Help Needed!!

[chams1]

Well, as luck would have it, I will probably be going down to Daytona to help out with USARK (no booth this year for me). This is spur of the moment and my normal reptile sitter is on vacation that weekend. Here's what I need:

Someone to take care of my reptiles (including the new melleri babies!!! ) on Friday night (8/19), Saturday, Sunday and Monday. There really isn't too much involved. You can even stay at the house if you want (Bolingbrook, IL) and eat all my food. I would normally pay my regular sitter nearly $150 for this timeframe and service and what I would be offering you is one of the melleri babies ($300 value).

Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!!

Well to start with Julie has about 40 baby mellers, her monitor, her chams, her geckos, and the list goes on. Sure you don't want to go to her place?

 

[ataraxia]

Well maybe it can work. I know Julie needs a good person for her zoo.

Oooohhhh, Laurie, that baby party is sounding better and better!! The more babies, the better!!

@ataraxia: Do you have a 8' long x 6' tall x 4.5' deep enclosure for my argus monitors? I am saying that with a slight bit of sarcasm since one is 5' long and one is 4' long and most people don't have that kind of enclosure - that's what they would need. As for chams, geckos (mostly uroplatus) and bearded dragons, I think I have WAY more than most people (mostly chams) and thus, it would take me several trips to get them to you and that's why I just have someone come to the house.

 

[Seeco]

It sounds like most of the animals will be fine. You do need a "baby" sitter though!

 

[chams1]

Bump!

Bumpin' it along!! I am still in need. Please help!!! I have things in my home that can make it worth your while!!

Yay! If I still lived in Michigan I think I would have readily made the four hour drive, but NE is a mite further... (btw, going to have any of those melleri, or your verrucosus at the Omaha show?)

Hey, come find me. I will be a busy bee all day Saturday at the USARK booth. Look forward to seeing you!

Thanks! Not sure if I'll be at the Omaha show. I love going there for it and I always do well there, but it's just such a far drive and I have to rent a bigger vehicle to get everything there. I'll see, but more than likely I won't be there. Sorry about that!
