    I should never have promised....



    So I promised my husband that I would pay off my credit card (that I maxed out on snakes. 3k!) before I bought another snake. But there are soooo many snakes I want right now and its driving me nuts not being able to get the a cinnamon female or the het pied female I want. I was thinking of trying to convince him to let me use just a tiny bit of our tax return for a cinnamon female but I don't want to make him mad.

    I'm going to be a good girl and keep to my promise, but its still driving me nuts. So how often do you all purchase reptiles? Once a year? Twice a year?

    Whenever I have the CASH to buy one, not a Credit Card

    Seriously though, credit cards are evil.

    lol im in the same boat. but i would only be breaking a rule i set for myself. i cant buy anymore till i pay off mine. but that will be done next week . but i also need to get a new rack first so that is gonna be the first investment before i get anymore.

    If I ever have spare cash that can be spent on a snake, I would consider it. I'm very frugal though, so I'm more tempted to save it to pay bills. After I get my het pied female though, I'll be done for a long time.

    Re: I should never have promised....

    Yea my credit card was maxed out from buying snakes. Credit cards are evil! Evil I say! And the thing is, I swear the bank was watching my purchases and knew I was buying tons of snakes and snake things. The reason I think this is because the night before a show, they increased my limit to 3000, giving me an extra 1000 limit on the card. And of course the next day I brought home my spider male and pinstripe female. I have learned my lesson with credit cards. Never again! Hopefully this breeding season will help me begin to pay off that card and I can be closer to being able to buy my cinny girl!

    Re: I should never have promised....

    Don't I know it. I don't have any other credit cards. That was my only one. (Thank goodness!) Otherwise I'd be up to my eyeballs in debt.....of course I'd also be up to my eyeballs in snake morphs.

    I just can't wait to pay off that card. I'm going to a show next month with my sister. She might end up buying something, but I'm not sure. She wants to buy or build a snake rack first.

    Re: I should never have promised....

    Wow! I have a list a mile long but my immediate wants are the following

    Cinnamon Female
    100% het pied Female
    Albino Male
    Mojave Pair
    Het Axanthic Pair
    Het Clown Pair
    Yellowbelly Pair

    Maybe next year's tax return I can use some to make my list shorter.
