Ball Python Withdrawals?

[Chuckels]

Hey All,
I'm just curious to see if anyone else has this? If I don't buy a snake every month or so, I start to get hardcore withdrawals! I need to feed my addiction.

Reason being, my wife and I just bought our second home, and I'm having to pour all of my snake funds into closing costs and inspections. It sucks. I have about 6 snakes that I have lined up, but can't by them until we move. I'm really getting anxious, I need to FEED THE ADDICTION!

My next 6 snakes: Albino Spider, Clown, Lemonblast, Pinstripe, 2 Breeder Pastel & Mojave Females.

If this is a disease, I do NOT want a cure, or help. Im perfectly content with it. It just blows that I can't buy any right now!

Who else has these withdrawals?

Im in the same exact boat!!!! I just got out of the Army and in the process of getting a new place so the wife wont let me get any more my last purchase was like 3-4 weeks ago and its killing me. I have literally written down the next 22 snakes i will be getting along with racks to build,incubator, etc..... And this hole time i though i was the only one I wouldn't trade it for anything

I have the fever also . I don't plan to breed but then again I do think about it. I want a BEL and I will say that's it but who am I trying to convince. I have a hubby that says no more. He said that 5 snakes ago

I don't keep ball pythons, but I understand what you mean. I am thinking of getting back into breeding. I was breeding some sweet corn snakes and leopard geckos....but I got a killer Borneo python for my birthday this year ....and I think she needs a boyfriend lol!!!

Hello, my name is Taelor and I have an addiction.

Yes, I'm sure everyone on this forum understands perfectly.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me I'm extremely tight on money after moving out of state so my addiction has to take a back seat to priorities. Though, if I had the funds, I'd be up to my neck in snakes of all kinds.

I just spent a ton on a frilled dragon. But when I have more room for more critters and more money... I've already got plans for a bumble bee ball, a hognose, a milksnake, a striped corn of somesort... I just love my critters

Hopefully producing some pretty cool babies this coming season will help fill my own addiction. On top of snakes, my wife wants her own goat, cow, chickens (She already has 1), and other various farm animals.

I'm happy to learn that I'm not alone in this!

On the same boat both pythons and boas. I'm actually waiting for my spotted python to get here tomorrow.
