Hello,
Hey I noticed you guys do dog and cat sitting and what not. What about snake sitting? I have a 15 foot snake and I'm going to be out of town for 2 weeks. Was wondering if you guys can watch him? He is too big for a cage so I let him move about the house. If this is something you can do please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Well this is an unusual request. Obviously, I can’t keep the snake at my house. I have taken care of snakes before, but they were in a cage. What kind of snake is it and where do you live?? If it’s a huge boa constrictor, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable taking care of it if it’s not in a cage.
Thanks

Hello Chris,
Yea that is the snake I have. I simply do not have a cage big enough for it. I mean were talking about an 15 foot snake here. Not too easy to find a cage that big for it. What you can do is, maybe just close it in a room and that way it wont bother you. Just open the door and feed it when it needs to be fed. This way you will not have to worry about anything happening. Just make sure the window is closed. Don't want that thing coming out of the house. It eats rabbit, not mice or rats. Those are way too small for this snake. If feeding it a mouse or a rat it will take like 3-4 mice or rats to make it full. I live in El dorado hills. Let me know if you can do this.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Does it eat live rabbits or frozen? Sorry for all the questions - I would need to come over for a consultation to see exactly what the situation is.
Thanks

Hello,
I never even knew snakes eat frozen rabbits. I have always fed it live foods. Keep in mind this is a real big snake. Big enough to eat cats and some small dogs. I have a few rabbits in my back yard but that will only be enough for a few days. Can you give me an estimate on how much you would charge for something like this?
Here is a picture of my Snake, this way you can have a better idea as far as how big the snake is and what not. Let me know because I will be leaving in a week and I really need to figure out what to do with my snake.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Are you available for a consultation tomorrow around 5:00pm. My husband and I can meet you then.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Chris
He does not even get surprised by the size of the snake!!!
