Okay, so my name is Bree and I am an animal-aholic/addict. I love reptiles, especially the big ones. I want alligators, reticulated pythons, Burmese pythons, dinosaurs, all of them.
I want to love them and give them good homes, scare my boyfriend with them and just dump my adoration onto them. The problem is that I can't really convince my boyfriend that having pythons/alligators everywhere is a good idea for the current time. But it doesn't stop me from trying :x For some reason he thinks all my reptiles will eventually turn on me- once they reach a large enough size.

So what am I supposed to do? Be patient? Everything is so cute and scaly, it's hard to be patient. I love genetics as well and can't wait to fill my home with morphs of all species.
My main concern is that time will pass and he'll eventually just say no to the larger species all together. I would love to override him and purchase them anyway, but such drama and instability is never fair for animals.

Is it normal to give up some of your dreams for your partner? My dreams being the alligator, reticulated python and Burmese python. I started with a baby normal ball python and have since purchased a Boa C. Imperator- Columbian and a bearded dragon. I have loved them all since the moment I brought them home. It makes me sad to think I will have to give up my aspirations for future loves/pythons in order to appease the partner.

Any thoughts or comments? I know this is a random post. I just can't seem to find anyone who understands what I am going through. Everyone usually shoots me down and agrees with him off the bat.
Thank you for reading.
