Hello all,
I wanted to start the process of finding someone who would be willing (for pay) to assist in feeding and general care of my Chameleons and Geckos when I am away for more than three days. It is not often that I am away for that long but I would like to have a couple people lined up. I am not sure if this is the path I want to take, but I wanted to see what type of responses I get.
I currently have a roommate that takes general care of them while I am gone. Only down side is he will not touch crickets and is a little afraid of reptiles. He is usually home when I am gone so I would only need someone to "assist" in some of the duties like a quick clean up and removal of old feeders and the occasional feeding. Maybe an every other day thing.
I would really like someone with some experience in identifying a problem if they see one. You would need to be close by. I live in Diamond Bar, Ca. Border of OC and LA county near Chino. Handling of the animals should not be necessary unless it would appear there is a problem, but you should not be afraid to handle if needed.
Below is what you would be up against. Its a pretty big load but all watering is automated for the Chameleons.
28 Chameleons
6 Crested Geckos
5 gargoyle Geckos
25 Leopard Geckos
4 N. wheeleri geckos
2 N. levis levis geckos
I am going to be very careful in choosing who I would like to care for the zoo. I will be generous in compensation for your time. The application process may be a little overdone but I need to be comfortable in my choice. I am sure you understand.

SBCK member/attendee a huge plus
Keeping of the animals listed above is a plus
