Granted, I've been needing a hobby for a while now. Got dumped by the only girl I ever really loved about 3 months ago. Lots of drama, lots of depression. Keeping snakes has been a good way to get my mind off all that stuff.

HOWEVER! I am getting too addicted. I bought my first snake after researching online for a while, then actually bought a SECOND SNAKE before the first snake had even shed for the first time. And now I'm wanting to get a boa constrictor and it's only been like a month and a half since I got the first two.

Keeping them comfortable and caring for them isn't really a problem for me. I live alone and don't really have a social circle anymore now that "she" is not in my life. However, I have been getting sloppy in some ways. I have no quarantine practices yet. I regularly handle both snakes back to back without washing up. I also haven't found whether my town has a good herp vep yet, and I really don't even have a single friend that shares this interest. And yet I already want more snakes? Sigh. I'm just afraid that I'm getting ahead of myself and that it come back to haunt me.

This is a fun hobby though and so far has been very rewarding. My ball python and western hognose are both just awesome to handle and care for.

Anyways, just thought I'd share.
