Everyones a rescuer!

[reptile_man_08]

I'm 14 and would try and take in any unwanted rep, if I knew that I could treat it and look after it well, but would never offer a 'rehoming service'.It's not guaranteed you will be able to pass the animal on anyway.

I'm always on the look for freebies that I want, as the only other times I get money are at b-day and crimbo, but my parents would and have payed for any necessary vet bills.

Unless you're extremely rich and have full support from parents I can't see how anyone my age could effectively run one.

Of course there are going to be exceptions like yourself.

I was mainly thinking of under 16's. At 16 you have left school, might have a better idea of what you want to do in life, and you can have a full time job. While living at home you can afford quite a lot without bills even on a 'low' wage.

Where does your money come from?

I have 'rescued' reptiles on and off for years,never advertised to do so,but once you get that reputation in an area as 'that bloke with all the snakes' they just seem to appear.I have kept some,rehomed some free of charge and some with a rehoming fee in the past.If I can't help I have a select 3 or 4 people I know to be well informed,caring enough and dedicated to their cause that I will refer too.This also depends on what the species is to be re homed.I'm not sure I'd ever pass on to a 14 year old though,however biased that may seem.

Perhaps he's won the lottery!

If he's got the money, he's got the money.

Thankyou, a youngster with some common sense, you will go far in life!

Thats my whole point, if you have a mate of mate who has a reptile that needs a new home, offer your experience to them.

When I was 17 I was working full time earning about £170 a week. Now when you don't hav any bills to pay that a lot of money to spend each week!

I was into tropical fish at that time in life, so all my dosh went on fish.

Thanks BarryM. Thats what I'm talking about! I'm also known as fish man and now snake guy is catching on too. So if someone local knows me my number often gets passed on, and through my job I have ended up with several snakes, like the corns I'm advertising in my sig at the moment.

I also went to a friend of a friends a few weeks ago to advise someone on there newly bought royal.
