    My husband loves the snakes but sometimes takes over not really knowing the right thing. I need to make him go on here a little more.

    And I remember when Deborah had about 10 ball pythons! LOL

    I was also - no other reptiles, just BP's. Then came the cresties, and the leos, and the california kings and just recently the black milks! I quit counting snakes once I hit 50 of them.

    So far it hasn't stopped for me. I'm about four months into the addiction and have three bp's and I'm working on a deal right now to buy four more! I can't wait to get it finished I'm so excited!!

    Nah, doesn't really stop... It's slowing down a little for me. I'm a financial freak and when you look at the cost to feed your colletion frozen rats for a year it's an eye opener.


    I will give you one word of advice. Don't get caught up in wanting more, and quickly buying snakes. Save your money and buy quality snakes. I would rather have two high quality snakes than ten average ones.

    Re: Please Tell me the addiction stops....

    To be honest, I thought it stopped when I was younger. I grew up on a farm in the middle of no where in Idaho. I would go out as a kid and catch snakes of all sorts (yes, even some hots. dumb looking back, but I was pretty confident about my snake handling skills at the time. haha) At any given time, I had probably about 10+ different snakes in my bedroom. Then when I hit junior high/highschool age we moved, and I spent my time chasing girls instead.

    Recently a friend of mine had a RTB he couldn't take care of anymore (he really didn't do a good job to begin with.. ) so I took it off his hands. And the addiction came back full force. I have since setup a little snake rack, and have added to the collection. I'm about to move in the next few days, and plan on really diving in once I am settled in the new location! cant wait!
