Katie, I'm only a few hours away, and you could visit as often as you want. He's be placed in teh guestroom, where only reptile guests get to stay. And he'll always be Yours, so don't let former situations make you feel leary. Offers of food donations woud be welcome, but I don't get the opionion that you'd take advanatage of me, so it's not really an issue. I'd love to help you out with him. DO you still have my cell #. There's no pressure, but call and let's talk. If you're comfortable with it, we can arrange it easily. I'd treat him like my own and gladly give him back to his mom when she was ready. I know you're going through a touchy situation with Chester. Rest assured, you won't be placed in that type of situation here. Think about it, and let me know. Me viv et su viv!
