As most of you know, I take in rescues of all types of reptiles all the time. The only thing I charge is the cost of shipping, (vet also, if new adopter wants me take him/her). But finances are calling me to charge for housing if they are kept in my care for more than a week too. Things just add up too quickly, for example; gas for my car, pedialyte, food items, insulated boxes, pillow cases, newspaper, papertowels, Rubbermaids, etc. If they are in my care for more than a couple of days, then I make sure they are in proper enclosures, and that adds up WAAAAY too fast. The last two I just shipped out cost just shy of $30 only for shipping, so I can kinda identify why some places charge a little more, especially shelters that run fully on adoption fees and donations.[addsig]
