Hi all, I haven't posted much over the years but I have learned much from this site and everyone on it. Without being too morbid, I am in my early 50's and recently had a life scare. It wound up not being too serious but enough to make me think a little about planning for the unexpected. My wife and sons unfortunately do not share in my love of snakes and do not interact with my collection of 9 animals. I have several Carpet Pythons from Nick Mutton, a few Antaresia from Justin Julander, a few Ball Pythons and a Boa Constrictor. I don't breed them, they are all pets in naturalistic display cages. I really enjoy these animals and it is my only hobby, but I do not want to leave my wife with the unwanted burden of finding homes for them in case something unexpected were to happen to me. In an event like this she will have enough to worry about. Has anyone thought of this or maybe has the same situation? We had a really good talk the other night and she asked me if I could make her some instructions on how to handle things in the event that something were to happen to me and all the normal stuff was easy. Mortgage, cars, other stuff she knows, but what about my animals? The only thing I could think of is you guys on this site and how some of you might have ideas that I could put on my "instruction sheet". She does not have any interest in my snakes and to tell the truth she is scared to death of them, but she has always let me be me and would never want me to not enjoy my hobby. Any and all ideas are welcome and thank you for your time and input about a subject many of us probably have not thought much about.
Dave
