It was a hell of a run... but it is now time for me to bow out.
It all started with a petco normal ball python. I went online after buying it to find out how to take care of it. I ran into what I thought was a sassy group of girls on a forum that were pretty hard on me because I was doing everything wrong... I tried to argue with them, but in the end I learned that they were right and I was wrong... I believe these two on this forum are called Rabernet and Deborah. 
Well after a few years, thousands of hours spend on BP.NET and a couple hundred snakes later, here I am. With a total investment of about $1,200, I grew my collection over the years to a true work of art. All along the way I made GOOD MONEY. When I add everything up, it is quite amazing to see that I have made over 30k. Not bad for a $1,200 investment.
Now that I have my own business buying and selling diamonds and gold, my life has simply changed. I no longer have the drive to care for so many animals. I have made arrangements to sell the rest of my collection by consignment at a reptile shop... (this is not an advertisment... I will post info on the store selling them in a couple days in the for sale section). I have gone from over a hundred snakes, down to 4. Yep, only keeping 4. 1 boy and 3 girls. The procedes of these final sales will be enough to fund my new business venture for several months to come.
What other hobby is this great? Don't let the nay sayers tell you any different kids... there is plenty of money to be made in this business... and that isn't going to change any time soon. You just have to make smart decisions... and be disciplined with holdbacks.
So yeah, I will still be lurking around these forums stirring up trouble every chance I get... but I am now officially a small timer again. LOL All of a sudden I like spending time with my snakes again.
Thank you BP.NET and all my previous customers for a wild ride, and a good time... and lots of money!
