    The eggs that I currently have were planned before all this started. They were to be for shows in may, June and July. Im now shifting more towards the online sales. I have another one or two pairings I was planning on doing but those are project components that I was already planning to hold back for 6 months to a year so I could see how they color with age.

    I'm not risking going to Homedepot or Lowe's so I currently have a half finished deck and snake room drywall is postponed. If I don't have supplies for something on hand then that project is on hold.

    Sales from this year I was going to put towards a drymarchon and caging but I'm in no rush and can wait to see what the market is doing.

    I just stocked up on extra feeders just in case I can't produce enough for the non selling babies. Extra bins are getting added to the rodent rack while things are incubating.

    I'm still working but from home now. I'm enjoying larger savings account from not driving.

    My kids keep asking if your still doing a show I see Corns in their future. It's going to be expensive when this ends. Just had 6 new T8s drop at the shop.

    Since the live stock auctions are closed I have too many piglets an rabbits. Time for bigger snakes.

    That's a good point, both of my feeder sources for the larger snakes are in other states so I stocked up in case of a travel ban.

    It's going to be an interesting year for buying and selling. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

    I’ve made arrangements for my son’s best mate to come round and take all my snakes and vivs to his own new reptile room in the event of me being stricken down and things going pear shaped

    I've got a plan in place as well, just in case.

    1000 dying each day now and increasing daily

    We had a care home who had 15 people die in five days ( 15 people out of 69)

    Yup!! I had a plan in place before all this, but I actually reached out to a buddy since my crew has grown. So now I've got a "best case scenario" plan and a backup plan.

    I know...it's horrible! Just saw that we (U.S.) had almost 2000 deaths on Friday (1953, to be exact). Our total to date is 18,637 deaths so far...keep hoping it's a nightmare & we'll wake up. Doesn't look to end any time soon- not without effective treatment & too few tests. Viruses don't listen to politicians.
