Re: Well, I Think I am Done
Sorry to hear about Daisy. Everybody's light burns out. I played basketball for 10 years and was on a path to a scholarship, but I just didn't have the motivation anymore so I quit. Parents were devastated but that's Ok. I found a new hobby in motorcycles and cars.

I went to do the round on my collection discovered Daisy. my Pewter Albino, had passed away. And I had just started breeding her this season. No idea why. Don't care at this point. I don't think I have to motivation to continue.
I understand burnout, but even if you stop breeding them, keep a few of your favorites around as pets. Some of my least expensive BP's are the ones I fool with and show off the most to non-snake people, because they're awesome about being handled.

If you're in it for the money you're in the wrong hobby. Sucks to hear about daisy tho. Hopefully your not out for good.

Re: Well, I Think I am Done
Hey Mas, so sorry about Daisy. Sorry too, that you have decided to give up the business. I know you have been contemplating leaving for awhile but don't let losing a animal validate your decision. At times of grief is a bad time to make important decisions. Take time off yes but dont throw it all in yet. There has to be things you love about the hobby/business so just give yourself time to grieve first. Then make a crucial decision later. Just my .02 cents. Stay in peace and not in pieces. ;)
