The only reason there is a NorthernRegius.com is due to my guy wanting a BP. We got a nice little normal from the pet-store & I started going on-line to learn more about his care than the few books I had could tell me.

That's when I discovered morphs! At the time I was a hobby breeder of Holland Lops, I was considering ending that due to the work load- not just the hours a day of care but travel to the shows, etc that you need to do to make it work.

So I talked to my guy. He said he had 2 conditions- 1st it would be MY hobby just like the rabbits had been. 2nd that until I made profit beyond the care of the snakes they would have to fit into the office (except for quarantine animals). I told him my 2- which included a budget & allowing me the time needed to care for my snakes without complaint. We both agree it's been way less hectic than rabbits ever was.

I've built up slowly & that has kept it fun for us both. He enjoys handling the snakes but he's still in the AF so he's not always here. I don't mind one bit being the primary care giver, but it is cute how he likes to hold & interact with them. When the Pied eggs were pipping, he had to get Zippy (the momma snake) out to show her that her babies were hatching.

I've got a budget to work from & I stick to it. So that keeps the arguments down to zero & the support at 100% . As time has gone on and he sees this "going somewhere" he's more excited about it & will even send me links of new morphs he likes. If things continue to go well he has offered to assist me. We set a mark for expansion & when I make it he will be there to help.
