How are you going to advertise it? I know a lot of people set websites up offering rescue places for reps.
I think it could be an expensive thing to set up, but if you are willing to do it- go for it.
I think the worst thing would be rehoming to reps after you've taken them in. I think it's too easy to become attached making rehoming them harder on you than you'd expect. |

i know the RSPCA isn't known for being a reptile-tolerant -loving organisation but if you can get in touch with a local officer and ask if they come across anything if they can let you take it in for care and subsequent rehoming. hopefully word will get round the officers in your area so you'll end up with any found or confiscated snakes rather than them being put to sleep.
being registered with a local specialist rep vet and being on good terms is likely to be essential, you could always be cheeky and ask for a discount as they're rescues not personal pets but you may have to prove what you do eg. a word from a local RSPCA officer.
have you thought about how you'd quarantine new arrivals? how much equipment you'll need? funding? how you'd 'vet' prospective re-homers?
might also be worth contacting Reptilerescueden on the dark side for more info and advice  |
