Those of you breeding, what is your living situation?

[SlitherinSisters]

I hope to do some breeding next year. I own a home. My one concern and it may be a little goofy would be breeding or owning too many animals in a apartment or duel occupied residence of multiple units.

My concern would be along the following lines.

Ball Python's are an investment of time, emotion, love and money. I would not trust living in a multiple dwelling unit where the actions of others could cause an event like a fire or what have you. I know that may be being overconcerned.....and events like that can happen anywhere...but raising large groups of animals where you have to deal with other people and the behavior would make me nervous.

None of this may make sense but having the apartment burn down because someone 3 doors down left their curling iron on or thru their joint in a wastebasket and burned the place down would drive me nuts lol.

That's exactly what I was thinking. When you are in an apartment you aren't the only person that can burn the place down. That's a scary thought in itself. People are stupid! Our apartment almost got burned down because our upstairs neighbor threw his cigarettes over the railing and onto our balcony and one of those times it just happened to fall in the trash can that I thought was safely out of his reach, poof there went our balcony that was made of wood. It got hot enough to melt our curtains before I was able to put it out.

And also the fact of never knowing your next living situation, or other apartment dwellers finding out you have snakes and getting them banned from the apartment building-a really easy thing to have done.

We own a house, just bought it in September.
