    Who does this. I'm sure a lot of us do

    Pretend shop on king snake
    Compile lists of 1000s of animals I want
    Organize that list on order of importance.
    Figure out how much you could save a month by eating crackers
    Splurge on snake. Repeat

    I sorta do that, I have a Word document with my wish list and when I add a new addition in I delete it from that list: it's a good feeling (I only have 10 more on my wishlist then I'm "done" for awhile!) Though sometimes I go out of my "order of importance" if I come across something I just cannot pass on at that time (ie a "perfect" example of a certain morph, or a good deal came up, or a breeder made available some anticipated animals, etc)

    I did this today I have a bunch of cheaper morphs and about 20 corns, among many more reptiles, but I finally splurged today on a 2012 male albino. May not be much to some of y'all, but it was for me. I really love a clean albino and I spotted a new hatchling at my local reptile store (who breeds their own stock) and absolutely had to have him. I had to make sure I had enough to make my car payments, haha. I'm eyeing the orange ghost that is there as well. I better not go back. (My next huge huge splurge will have to be a pied. Know of any cheap ones?)

    Oh god...I've been doing this all week just about...well, since I grabbed my albino. There's no more room in the budget for another snake until next year (unless....I open my art commissions and save up the money on my own, which I'm seriously thinking about doing lol). So...I've been "window" shopping...and making a list of things I want. XD

    It's getting to be a very long list.....



    Very very long....

    Years and years of lists exist around my house in journals, random scraps of paper, notebooks... Last I really tried to count I've got about 150 species I wish I could keep (not including the ever changing BP morph list ). Classified and breeder browsing is what I do to kill time It's terrible, and if something cool comes up that isn't on the list sometimes I just go for it (My pied black pine female is living proof!)

    Me and my girl will call off snakes on Kingsnake and try to guess the price.

    "window shopping" is always a good time killer.
