    Adoption?!?!?

    Hey all... It has been awhile since I have been on here.... A few months ago I rescued a beautiful albino checkered garter from Petco that was only being fed one pinkie once a week.... Since I brought her home she has grown substancially and loves her pinkies.. She eats six in one sitting and then is looking for more the next day Well she is Little Dude's sister and has been tanked with him and Hudinie, Well this upcoming spring they all will be two so I am worried about breeding. I am not set up for it and would love to find Rescue a safe secure, loving home......

    She's always welcome on the Ranch. Let me know if we need to make it happen.
    I personnally hope you find room for her. You've put so much effort in her and you deserve each other. I'll be praying she stays with you.

    Thanks Steve.... I am hoping that I will be able to get room for another tank when we move here in a couple of months, but if not then I will definately be getting in touch with you. I know that she would be very well taken care of there at the Ranch.

    Wait, let me get this straight:

    You have two females and one male; you're worried about breeding, but you're putting one of the females up for adoption?
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    No.... I have two males. one albino checkered that is named Little Dude, and one normal checkered that is named Hudinie. I have had both of them for quite awhile and have been tanked together for the whole time.

    Now a few months ago I saw that Petco still had Little Dude's sister "Rescue" and that she was still the size of a baby garter. She is a year and a half old. I found out that they were feeding her only one pinkie a week and in doing so had stunted her growth. Well I felt so bad about how she was being kept that I rescued her from the store. The only room that I had was in the same tank with her brother and Hudinie. Since I rescued her she has grown substantially and is almost the same size as her brother. I really do not want to adopt her out and hopefully when we mover here in a few months I will have enough room to set up another tank for her. But on the chance that I do not I posted up so that way I can see if there are any good homes around where I live so that way she would be able to go to a good home that can take care of her. She has won her way into my heart and I am hoping that I will be able to keep her, but on the off chance then I want to be prepared for the worst. Steve has offerred her a place at the Ranch if I am not able to keep her and I know that she would be well cared for and loved there. I just am not set up for breeding at this time, nor do I have the knowledge to take care of little scrubs right after they are born. So I am not looking to adopt her out at this very moment, but I am preparing for if I do have to.

    I remember the story of Rescue. I even did a Shop of her saying "I'll never go hungry again!" But for some reason, I thought you had said your regular checkered was female.

    No worries... and that shop was hecka tight! but originally last year I thought that I have two females and then after a bit of male dominance showing I from the albino I thought that teh normal was a female, but after many a people looking at the pics of the tales it has been determined that both are males.....So yes there has been some confusion on the gender of these two before......
