Really? I thought the two were sufficient... LMAO. :D

(sorry, I couldn't pass up that one!!)

I never had a a great mind set for the value of a dollar haha.

My snakes eat better than I do, sometimes I go a bit overboard, like I spent around 1.1 grand this month on snakes, so I'll have to pinch pennies until my next pay check, but I never regret it.

Lol, I hear ya. I am going to spend $1800 on a standard poodle to compete with, and that's a lot of money. But I've got two snakes on order for $2250 and that was a good deal lol

Yep, I try to explain it to coworkers, but they feel I have a misconception about how much money to spend on a hobby. Last month I spent around 1600 on a couple snakes, the month before that it was 4 grand in photography equipment. Now its another 1200 in a couple PVC cages and stats. . . however, I go to fill up my tank and its like, Wow come on $65 to fill up for a week??

As my coworker put it, "Some people buy boats, some people buy snakes"

Definitely how I am now. Ive dropped $3500 in the last 3 weeks and didn't think twice about it cause it was stuff I needed for projects... Yet i still hate spending $60 on groceries.

Lol yes, absolutely. For me it went in steps. At first the most I would consider was the $200-$300 range for snakes, then it went up to $500, then I bought a group for $1000. Now I'm looking at $2500 snakes and thinking "I could buy that in the next year or two." I feel it will keep going up.

My father doesn't think my snakes are worth that much, he's the one who bought me my first bp for about $30, so he assumes you can buy clowns for that much.

this hobby has only decreased my collection of dollars
