Thanks for the advice i really appreciate it. I know that its not going to be easy and have thought about all the pro's and con's. Money is not really an issue as my husband brings home quite an income coupled with the fact that i work full time as well. The emotional part will be the toughest for me but you are right i must set limits and stick to them. I also realize that if i don't find a home they will be with me forever. I do not mind this as i tend to get very attached to my pets anyway~ I was wondering how you go about finding "good" homes. As I am sure you must get alot of people who think they want to adopt an ig but are not really prepared for everything it takes to own an ig. We are in the middle of escrow to our new bigger house so we will have extra room. Our long term goal (in 2-3 years)is to buy a even bigger home with quite alot of property~ Than i would like to open a bigger shelter for reptiles that are not wanted anymore. If all goes as planned i will be able to devote most all of my time to my reptile ranch. I don't expect any of it to be easy~ It will be very challenging but well worth the time and effort! Thanks again for your comments~ Oh and one more thing~ do you house any of your igs together? Or do you keep them all in seperate cages? I am thinking about using a room in our new house devoted to igs and wondering how many people cage them together> or sep because of aggression~ Thanks~ Tif
