Oh I did consider it, even though I would really miss them. The thing that keeps me from doing so is the time limits. Snakes can sell in days if you're lucky, but more often in weeks or months...and we don't have that time. It's actually easier to just plan on taking them along.

And regardless of whether the snakes are with us or not...stopping at motels is still currently out of our budget. But we'll be trying to sell quite a bit of stuff to make up for it.
