Well, my husband put in for orders for Everett WA. He will be moving there early next year. I won't be moving until AT LEAST June 2011. I want the kids to finish the school year and then the move will depend on his deployment schedule.
I think I may have to rehome Ralph. I know it's possible to raise a sully in the Northwest, but I don't even know where we will be living. I may talk to my brother and SIL in Georgia and see if they'd keep him for us for 3 yrs. They have SEVERAL torts, snakes, and PLENTY of room. Just not sure how to go about it since I've been told (but not sure how reliable the source is) that since I never had a permit for him I can't take across state lines????? Would be different if I were taking him to WA since we'd be driving and not checked. But I'd have to ship him to GA.
Anyway, I need to research ALL my options. I'm not the type of person who thinks pets are dispensable. I would LOVE to take him with me but NOT if we have an apartment. And NOT if I don't have the living space for him. It's not fair to him. Even on cloudy days here he seems so sad and "not with it".
So if anyone has any suggestions, shoot them at me. At minimum, I've got 16 months to figure everything out.
