Guys n gals
Thnx so much for all the offers, u really r a gr8 bunch
Today, I spoke to an electrician uncle of mine who said hes gonna build me a lighting system for over this tank (Damned thing is HUGE, 4foot long x 2.5foot wide!).... so im gonna have to wait to see what that works with but thnx for the info. is truly MUCH appreciated.
Spoke to a really nice guy called thomas last nite from reptile haven, said he might be able to hook me up with an old starter light, but if not, they will last the few days it will take for the lighting system without a problem (other places had tried to scare me into buying their stuff.... luckilly i never go on the word of one store lol ).
Fayse, I take in most any kind of animal, but I am most at home with herps, see, I kept and studied so many reptiles for so long, that every few months I end up getting phone calls saying *i cant look after this, help!* an I will never leave any animal in the care of somone who cant look after him / her properly I have taken in everything from garter snakes, rat snakes, even a fully grown adult boa! to hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, bats, owls, crows, kittens, pups, guinea pigs, geckos, newts,....... my house looks like a zoo even during a quiet month lol 
If you are interested tho' I have 3 large red eared sliders, by large I mean, 1 is the diameter allmost of a dinner place, the other is the diameter of a large cereal bowl.
They would need a (heated) tank or enclosure measuring 4foot by 2 foot to be relatively comfortable, with a dry platform for drying out and a good lighting system.
If ur interested let me know an i will pm u my phone number.
Also,
Being realistic, I am willing to let 2 of them go to good homes *IF* somone has the right kind of housing, the right equipment and the right knowledge to look after them well I will only charge €40 (negotiable) for them because thats how much they have cost me since I took them in, also TBH, because if somone cannot afford that then they wont be able to afford to look after them properly.
Fayse, if u DO set up an animal rescue place, if u want me, I would love to be involved in some way if possible, I have a LOT of experience with all sorts of animals, captive and wild, and a lot of time on my hands right now.
Again, many thnx for the offers

hi barry and others...
I'm doing a radio piece on people with unusual pets, particularly reptiles and I'd be really interested in speaking to you or to anyone else who does this.
I'd be really grateful if you could get back to me and let me know if you would be interested in talking to me.
thanks a million
