Falling apart.... Need help

[nightroses]

So me and my fiance broke up and I am in a situation where I have to live with my parents for a while... They said they would give me time to "get rid of it" I need to give away my little baby and quick before my dad "does it for me" my life really is falling apart and having to give away my new little baby just as she was starting to warm up to me is killing me. So if any of you rescue BTS please consider taking mine in.. I want to make sure she at least goes to a good home.

sorry to hear bout that,no way you can sway the folks?im sure someone will step up to the plate if need be

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know there are some members in your area. Maybe they can help you out with your skink?

[DevDomSki]

More hurt by having to give away the skink then by breaking up with the fiance! Nice! But your parents suck!

[Jeff]

I think parents that are willing to help you out with a place to stay can't be too bad DevDom. Not everyone is a reptile person, and many people don't get those of us that are. That doesn't make them bad people.

I'm sorry you are going through this, and I hope things start looking up soon. Is your plan to permanently relocate your skink, or would you like him back in the future when you get back on your feet?

[DevDomSki]

Your absolutely right Jeff. I am so sorry!

Are you always a prick? I didn't say they were bad people, I said they suck. She broke up with her fiancé, needs a temp place to stay, and all they care about is her getting rid of maybe the one thing she can enjoy in an otherwise un-joyful time? That is pretty sucky and selfish on her parents part.

My parents are in Oklahoma so that is where i am at now and I am looking to permanently relocate my BTS because I really dont know how long it is gonna be so I just wanna find it a good home that I can always know that it is happy and well taken care of.

I can tell this is a bad time for you but there maybe someone able to foster him until you get through this, good luck with the future.

I am so sorry to hear this, and I hope that someone is able to take in your little buddy.

all they care about is her getting rid of maybe the one thing she can enjoy in an otherwise un-joyful time?

No. They care about giving her a house to live in. Having a house is a luxury they didn't have to let her live with them.

That is pretty sucky and selfish on her parents part.

How?!?! They are letting her live with them! There are many people who wish they could live in a house!

@OP- Could you find someone to foster him like Leigh suggested? Good luck

Again, DevDomski, more respect for moderators is required. Your opinions on the original posters parents are not relevant or helpful.

Have you discussed with your parents *why* they do not want you to keep your bluey? Are they concerned about the electricity bill? Salmonella? Does someone have a phobia? Do they perhaps just not know exactly what your bluey is?

If you know, then perhaps a compromise could be made? Put money towards the electricity, educate on salmonella etc I truly do hope you can find an answer other then having to rehome your baby.

Good luck with everything~

[nightroses]

No my parents are just hicks and say that a lizard is not a pet its a pest and they want it out.

[skeetersmom]

Just a thought - rather than looking for a forever home for our bluey - look for a foster home?

[ExtremeJustin]

I've very sorry to hear this. When I lost my apartment I was lucky enough to have a family member take me in. I couldn't bring my skink with me because that family member had a fear of snakes and associated my skink with snakes (my Leopard Gecko was allowed to come with me though). I was very lucky that my mother took in the skink for over a year until I got my new place. If your goal is to move out of your parents house maybe a fostering situation would work for you? Or have you already found a home for him/her?

I was just going to suggest this:)

Try finding a close girl friend/guy friend thats willing to foster him till you find a place of your own.

[Spindown]

that is a hard situation to be in. I hope you find someone to take him/her. I would but I dont have room right now for fosters. Also you'd have to ship.
good luck!
