ive been thinking (again)

is it a good thing that snakes can live to 20+ years in captivity...??

the reason i have been thinking this is because of how addictive reptiles become.

i keep seeing more and more reps and wanting to take them all home. i have gone from none to 1x corn, 1x royal and 2x leos(2 more coming on sunday) in about 11 months and fast running out of space. plus i want to breed later, so even more space needed.

sometimes i think that if there longevity was not aslong i could experience alot more of these beautiful animals.

just thought i would put it out there

I know what you mean, but depending on how attached to them you are you could sell them?

You'll just have to get more space and live longer yourself - exercise a diet that's wise and a bit of reptile diddley dumb!... or at least a rep room!

Who needs a kitchen? Get a reptile room. Fish 'n chip shops exist for a reason

Hehehe, I have just one, but it's very hard to keep to just one snake, I keep seeing them and wanting another. I've told myself not until I have Dusk sexed though and I don't want to risk him being probed until he/she's bigger.

Hmm..a rep room...very tempting
