I just found this rescue center and have been in touch with the people running it - granted they called me late at night but it was a good conversation. A web site was donated to them so you can get some information about them if you are interested at
http://www.dmreptilerescue.com I plan on visiting them next weekend if I get over this 'bug' - and may start donating time to them each month. The vet they use (which they also recommende me to use) is supposed to be the best in the state; is the vet for the Sonora Desert Museum; backup vet for the zoo here (when their vet doesn't know they call him). They run this rescue using their own income, etc. and what few donations they get. If anyone is interested I will give a better report, possibly pics, after my visit with them. Instead of buying - I may decide to adopt . . . who knows . . .
