I think I might be an addict (No pictures)

Well, I did it again... I just made another ball python purchase. I kept telling myself I wasn't going to do it, but I did it anyways. :rolleyes:

Next Wednesday I will be picking up a pretty little pewter at the FedEx facility. I really can't wait to see her in person. :banana:

No I don't have any pictures I can share, but I will be taking some when she gets here. You're all just going to have to wait. :P

PS - if anyone knows to over come this addiction my savings account would greatly appreciate it. :P

Would you believe me if I told you I started the year with only one ball python?

I know all about the addiction... I purchased my first ball 5 weeks ago and now own 5 with 2 more being picked up this Saturday. I even turned the guest room in my house into the "snake room" :D.

Lol, my guest room is my QT room :P

Just send the money over to me that way you can't spend it. Only fix I can think of. :P

Ill do you a favor and take the pewter off your hands....its for the best:D

Lol, I have two words for the both of you: Dream on. :P

I really do need to stop buying new snakes though or I'm never going to have any room for anything I decide to hold back. :P

We really need a "BP Anonymous"......................

Lol, doesn't even need to Anonymous. :P

Don't feel to bad. I have bought over 20 snakes in the last year. I keep saying that I am done for a while, and next thing you know there is another pickup....lol

It certainly wouldn't be around here!! :rofl:

Hello my name is Marc and I'm a balloholic.lol I too started out the year with just one.:)

Hahaha well, I don't know what to tell you about helping with the addiction. I can't even tell you how many snakes I got this year alone :rolleyes:

Oh, and not only do I have a bp addiction, I am very partial to leos I find for sale as well. :cool:

I think I'm reaching the point where it might be worth it to rent another apartment to house them all. I have new racks planned and I'm still trying to figure out the best place to put them. :P

My name is Mike and I'm also a Ballaholic. Bought my first boy at the end of 2008, and I'm currently up to 51. Thank goodness I sold/traded 28 of the 33 babies I produced in 2011. Thank you for your support:)

I can't even count how many times I've had the whole "ok, seriously, THIS/THESE are the LAST ones for this year!!" talk....and then bam, a new package is on my doorstep. Haha.
Congrats on the new one!!

im also quite addicted. got my first bp in may and now 7 months later have 11 bps and 2 boas and we're looking to pick up at least one this month and then more in january, plus im wanting to get into lizards and verts and frogs and even some mammals lol. when that happens ill have to move the snakes outta the closet and into my room. i can only fit so many in there and that numbers almost up lol.

hi im AJ and im a herpaholic and i dont plan on stoppin. :P

I know how you all feel, the only thing that is holding me back from acquiring any more at this point is room. I still have to make some racks for this year’s additions when they need bigger tubs, as well as hatchling racks for whatever my girls decide to produce. It's a rough life...:rolleyes:

lol, agreed

While I just got my first ball python about 2 weeks ago, I already have plans for new balls in the spring or summer (if I can even wait that long). I figure as long as you can care for them properly and are not putting yourself in financial debt (should I buy groceries or another ball?) enjoy your hobby.

Do Ramen Noddles and PB&J count as groceries? :P

Honestly though I could be paying double on my student loans to get out of debt faster but I'm not accruing more debt to pay for them.

I do greatly enjoy this hobby even if none of my family understands it. :)

I think we have all been on that diet at some point in our lives. If you haven't, you don't know what you are missing.:)

Keep enjoying your hobby and have a great holiday season.

more true words have not been spoken often. and there have certainly been times during which my snakes have eaten before I allowed myself to make a trip to the grocery store.

I'm squarely in kinra's camp as well. I've always kept a few non-mammalian pets ever since I was a child, from newts and snakes to birds and bearded dragons, but I began 2011 with a single ball python. now I have ten, more I can list without pausing to think about the contents of each individual rack or enclosure. if there is a herpetological anonymous organization, I want no part of it. personally looking forward to expanding my scope beyond balls when finances permit, but they'll always be the mainstay of my collection. and the most immediately identifiable source responsible for my addiction.

as perplexing as it may seem to many people, at least we have numbers.
