I can relate to your dilemma! I'm currently pursuing my Bsc in biology and one of my favorite aspects of this major is field research. I'll likely spent the whole summer outdoors camping and in campings, around lots of wild snakes...but unfortunately no pet ones. I think I could find someone for a few months, but after I graduate next year- I'd like to have to opportunity to travel or do more field work in a remote area. I know I shouldn't let my snakes hold me back....and I already plan vacations around reptile shows!
