Snake Sitter Needed! (Melbourne area)

[krystyl]

Hi,

I will be going overseas, visiting my family and friends in my home country soon, and I need someone to look after Amadeus - my juvenile diamond python of about 3 months old - while I am away.

I am leaving on the 13th of June and returning back to Melbourne around the 27th of July.

Wondering if there are any snake sitters within/near the Melbourne CBD area? I am willing to pay as long as I know that he will be well looked after while I'm gone. If you are interested or know of anyone that might be, please let me know!

People hire unknown people to babysit their children... I imagine it's ok for snakes as well.

As long as the person was very experienced with the breed, obviously. =]

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I am going to just hand over my snake to practically anyone who offers to take care of him.

Would u be asking the person to check up on your snake at your house? Or have the snaake and cage at the snake sitters house?

for the short time you're away, I'd suggest leaving it at home without food. I know its not good to leave animals unsupervised in case something goes wrong, but seriously, its going to be the middle of winter. Turn the heating down a bit and let it brumate. Its not the best thing for a young snake but they face alot worse in a natural habitat and will save you both the money and stress of finding a suitable carer.
