After much deliberation & soul searching, I have rehomed all my adults.
An acquaintance had just built a new 4 enclosure rack setup, 2'x4'x2' each, he wished to expand his reptile collection, was not interested in babies or juveniles & wanted mature adults. After viewing his setup, which was very nicely & properly setup, more room than my enclosures, 8 square feet of floor space, over the 6 square feet that my enclosures provide, has his own cultures\colonies of various feeders. When he offered to take all 4, again after much deliberation & saddened heart, I delivered them last night & said goodbye to my long time friends, 3 of which have been with me for 7-8 years & one just about 9 years old
It was a difficult choice, but they have a good home, enables me to provide a good home for more of the young hatchlings that I have yet to find homes for. Something that I was unsure if I was going to be able to do. Selling them to a Pet Store, really didn't seem like an option for me, never knowing who would wind up with them & how they would be cared for.
Although it is nice to have a room full of active youngsters, will keep me busy with the extra care needed for them compared to the mature adults, I will miss my old friends.

.....You help alot of us on here Germ. Keep your head up bud
, I'm sure you are torn by this decision. You have had them for a long time, my friend and I'm know it will be hard on your household. They are moving on to another step along their journey in life I suppose. Good luck and best wishes to you all.
