Our current frontrunner is Ohio. We also were talking Oregon and Colorado. Ohio is close enough that we could at least road trip home and not be forced to fly.
I'm actually going to Ohio next week to visit nuggetrn so I'll be able to check it out
I don't know if relevant, but my SO has never even been out of New England before.
The only one of those places I've been is Oregon but I love it there!
I would love to go out there, it's just very very far.
I think he's doing good! We put about 25 live crickets in there last Monday and he didn't eat them all within a week like I thought he would. He probably only eats 2 crickets a day on average which doesn't seem like much? But he's definitely becoming more comfortable in his new environment. He runs around in there and climbs things and chases the crickets and he seems happy.
Eta: I also noticed he was shedding his skin yesterday. But I read that's normal right?
Shedding is how they grow, so yes normal. If it takes him awhile to shed or he seems super itchy, you could give him a warm bath in a Tupperware for 10-15 minutes. Skin should peel right off. We also put stress coat (like for fish tanks) in reptile baths too but you shouldn't need it.
I had to give a leopard gecko a bath the other day. He was not happy that I was pulling his skin off but felt so much better afterward.
Yeah yesterday it was his tail and today his face. So it seems to just be little parts at a time. Thanks for the info!!

All of you people with dogs just astound me. I love, love, LOVE dogs and always had dogs growing up. But taking care of a dog in my own house seems like some kind of next-level adulting that I am not mature enough for yet. Yes, I have a 2.5-year-old. But a dog? So not ready for that yet.
rablissful, any idea where you would look to move out of state?

H would move to Oregon or Colorado in a second if I ok'd it. I could see myself living in Colorado someday. I really love the parts I've been to, and friends who live there are obsessed.

lol we have two cats and two dogs. Occasionally it seems like a zoo, but I'd still get a third of each if H would let me.
We have a lot of Ohio people where I am in NC. I've met more Ohioans (?) in the three years we've been here than I had in my whole life before.
It's like that in Florida too. I lived in Florida for 7 years and met tons and tons of fellow Ohioans. Even ended up meeting a couple (and became friends with) who was from the neighboring town to where I grew up. And it's a really, really small town so it was such a small world.

My H briefly went insane and wanted a second cat. I think he forgot our first cat is a grade-A a-hole. Every day, when our cat throws up somewhere inconvenient, or bites me for no reason, or scratches the sofa 3 inches away from his scratcher which he loves, I look at my H and say, "Gee, wouldn't it be great if there were 2 of him?" and he feels shame.
I love my cat. But I am not equipped to manage 2 of him.

But what are the chances that you'll find another cat that's as big of a jerk as your cat?
Most likely 100%. Just kidding, you should get another cat.
I think what we are learning from this thread is that everybody wants to get out of Ohio and move anywhere else? Maybe?
I wanted nothing more than to get out of Ohio after I graduated college. And then I did. And then I wanted nothing more than to move back and raise a family in Ohio. And here I am. Back in Ohio.
