Donate them? Where do you live? Most states have reptile rescue/adoption groups. Your local animal shelter would take them as well. Do some research in your area to find an organization that will attempt to re-home your animals. Keep in mind that "donate" means that you give something to someone in need... and animal adoption organizations don't need more unwanted pets! These programs are not always successful, so see if any friends or family are interested first.
maru im very sorry to hear that .. where do u live at the moment?? i would really love to help u .. not sure if i can or not but if u let me know where u live .. and i might be able to help u find homes ..
there is an adoption section in this forum as well maybe post in there and see if there is someone near u that could take them?? I totally would but its hard to get them accross the boarder.
that forum section is exactly whered id go, people are always up for taking care of a free reptile, most will even pay for shipping
Thats too bad that you will have to get rid of them all. I would be heart broken beyound belief if this happened to me and my geckos. Try starting here on RR and maybe talk to some local pet store owners or vets they may know of adoption places in your area.
.. um i might be able to take one .. and yes id pay for over night .. PM or .. email me or sumthin im on RR like everyday .. let me know
hm, id drive down and pick up a little guy I'd love to have the RW albino male to go with my female! My bf will kill me of course but whats one more when you have 20! lol. I live in south boston at the moment... well for the next year at least but I will be going down to NY (Long island) the weekend of the 11th in november if you will still be around and willing to give one by then. If not I am always going back and forth and wouldnt mind a little trip for a leo Also, have you thought about breeding your own feeders? Like starting a superworm and mealworm colony? You may be able to support a number of leos as long as you time it right so you have a constant supply of feeders.... Just an idea, it would be a huge pain to bring the leos cages AND feeder colonies to another country... not to mention that they may not let them in... I dont know the exact rules and regulations for reptiles going to different countries... might be something to look into Edit: Oh! And i second that overnight shipping is the best and it is expensive... expect to pay around 35-65 bucks
ya i called Fedex and they have same day delevery but it starts at 225 us .. and if u are willing to ship ( i live in canada) i would absoluly LOVE the tangerine carrottail also .. i live near toonto ont .. and i might be able to get a drive to newyork .. my aunt lives there .. so if u really do not want to ship i could probally do that .. (tell my mom that she hasnt seen her in a while so we should go for the day lol ) any please let me know when u can thx
you dont have to do same day. if you can afford it...sweet! but overnight (with proper packaging and heating) will do just fine...its what most breeders do. i know my little guy is leaving boston on tuesday morning at about 9:00 AM, and will get here (Orlando, FL) by around 10:30 Wednesday morning. it was about 40 bucks i believe (plus i paid for shipping supplies), but it's totally worth it!
