Tricky one. You can try some of the rescue groups, they do come up sometimes. With these animals you have to bear a few things in mind. Many species require CITES paperwork and you have to get permission and lots of paperwork to take it anywhere. It WILL outlive you! Some have a lifespan of 150 years. So there needs to be provision for that. Not always the easiest of animals to keep. You have to let them hibernate in the cooler months etc.
