Herp Debt

Earlier in the week Lady Ohh came out of the closet regarding herp-envy, which some of us have.

This begs the question...how many of you are in debt over buying herps?

What I mean is, credit cards, etc.

I have to admit, I carry a bit of that debt related to herps myself.

No debt here :gj:

Just paid down my last purchase of a Bee from the Pomona show

Sweet, and, Smart!!!

I only use the extra money I have to buy my snakes. That's why I only bought one snake since I was laid off, and that was with a little of the money I got from selling my BEL paradox. I try to never use a credit card for anything that isn't an emergency. I wish I could teach my girlfriend to do the same. She doesn't believe me when I tell her that buying something with a credit card is not the same as getting it for free, but she gets shocked and angry every time she adds up her debt.

I am contemplating putting a sulfur on a payment plan or credit card. That's sort of an emergency.

No real dept here to date. Altho My first purchase, encluding enclosure and all other needed items, almost ended up in debt. As I had bills to pay which were late for that month. :colbert:
The real factor in keeping me Herp Debt free is the limited space I have.
Altho if it were to happen, it may be the Geckos that bring it on. Given their somewhat smaller size, I can squeeze them into smaller spaces.

How about none? I own alot but I never get carried away with it.

I probably put something for my girl on a credit card at one point but I never carry a balance on it. My rule for things besides a mortgage or a car is that if you don't have the funds to buy something at that moment in your bank account and it isn't an emergency, then don't buy it.

None here. I don't buy it unless I have the money (in cash or bank) for the animal, veterinarian check up, food and full set up.

I'm afraid it's the only thing that has me limited on the number of animals I have. :D

None. The only credit card I have is a business travel card from my company. I buy what I can, when I can. Now if you were to ask what % of my monthly income goes to Ball Pythons and their stuff...that would be a very different strory.

Suffice it to say, I have actually had conversations in my head about how I really need one more RBI rack, and eating 4 for a dollar mac&cheese for two weeks really isn't all that bad.
