For me its great to go sit in the snake room . Its like going to the zoo for me . I love to have some goal in mind every year and see if I can achieve it. Its great to make a few bucks if you can . Its just awsome to be able to pick and choose with your clutches. I have a local breeder that breeds everything you can think of and its easy to do some trades for other animals I want to add to my collection. I hope to add some locality boas that I would otherwise not be able to add this year without this years clutches. Dont get me wrong if I could quit my day job and work with reptiles every day , That would be a dream come true for me . I love everything about this hobby, the anticipation of eggs hatching and wondering if that special animal will prove out is unbelievable. Its like pulling that handle on a slot machine and hoping for 777.........Its a very unique hobby , People give you some odd looks when you tell them you saving for a $3000.00 snake.
