Yawning?

Haha, well I'm still at the parents house and will probably be here until I get my degree, which is only a couple years out, but when I do leave,I'm going to have a freakin museum of reptiles at my house. Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Ball Pythons,and I have a weird fantasy about rattlesnakes, although I'll probably never get one. I love a lot of the morphs I've seen here though. I'm very excited about my future in reptile care, mainly BPs.

I am too. I have fantasies about "when I'm 18..." Although I'm aiming to be a cardiac surgeon, so I won't have a whole lot of time for pets, with college, med school, internship, etc. Strangely, I'm actually looking forward to retirement (a long way off, but still). All the time in the world to expand my collection and the money for it too; if I end up as a surgeon, I'll have a decent pension.

lol, yeah you'll have money alright! I'm in college to become a teacher. I'll never have money, just passion and three months off to care for reptiles. It's a family curse. I tried the normal universities in the area and I hated them with a passion. Now I'm going to University of Phoenix. The program is easy. Just got to plow my way through it really. I want to integrate reptiles into the classroom. So far that excuse hasn't flown really well with the parents, but I think I can break them. The only other thing in my way is that I have a small room and no where to put the cages. Btw, according to my shop, tomorrow is Kratos' feeding day. Being that I bought him today,would it be smarter to wait until next thursday to feed so I don't risk a regurge due to all the stress?

A teacher is a great job. A hs biology teacher is on my "list". Sure, they don't get paid as much as some, but that's not what counts. You want to do something you enjoy, which may not neccessarily come with a great paycheck. Anyways, I think that child reptile education is very important. Learn about which are pets, which aren't, proper husbandry, etc, etc. That's great! Good luck with everything!

Yeah, I'd definitely wait a week. It's worth it to avoid a possible regurge.

Thank you very much! And the same goes to you. Major props fro being able to handle such a school load. I don't have to patience to learn all that needs to be learned to be a doctor of any kind. And thank you for all the advice. It's uplifting knowing I'm doing things correctly, and not risking a beautiful creature's life.
