i feel like im in the same boat as u. when i first started working, i filled my schedule so that i can work, hang out a bit, and take care of my snakes. but now, i feel that same unfullfillment that u feel. so i decided that i would take on another dream pet, that would be a little more satisfying, and cuddly.

thats why i decided that in november, after extensive research, that i wanted a b&w tegu. its the perfect reptile for meh, and ive already consulted many tegu owners about my schedule, and they gave me a lot of support. i worried bc of my scheduly, but there were ppl who had LESS time than i did who managed to keep a tegu.

i LOVE my snakes, and i just adore ALL herps. i must admit, i did not expect that having a snake would be like owning substrate, and hides. (idk where i read that, but someone posted that quote). thus, i feel a little disappointed.


i dont kno u, but i see uve been with this site for a very long time. so since ur a part of this community, i wanted to let u kno that u hav my support, and most likely everyone elses support for whatever u decide.

it seems like u have already thought of a strategy where u can have ur dream rats . plans change all the time, so if u want rats, get rats!!
