LOL but there's no better high then watching a clutch of eggs hatch and seeing your BP's first offspring and watching them grow and eat.

I used to be, but am not now. Although, I do still love my snakes.

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
At this time last year I had 2 snakes... Now I'm up to 15 snakes, 4 breeder rats and a tarantula. I think that qualifies as addicted

Yes!!! Though I only have one, I'd have TONS more if I wasn't still a minor living with my parents!

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
I say, there is a very thin line between addiction and obsession...

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
I didn't think so. Even after my 50th, I didn't think I had a problem. Then when I was building another rack and not having any place for it, I started to think I may have had a problem. But the thing that turned me around was when I cancelled a weekend vacation because I had eggs that were ready to hatch, the same weekend I was to go away.
I went cold turkey and got out of breeding snakes, and I stayed away for almost 5 years. I know have gooten bit by the bug and have started my collection again.

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
Well I got my first bp 4 months ago and now I have 8 but do I think I am addicted, no. In order for it to be an addiction it would have to be maladaptive which at this point it is not, then again I could just be in "snake addiction denial." lol

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
I am without a doubt addicted to Ball Python morphs.
I blame Kevin McCurley and The Complete Ball Python.

Re: Would You Consider Yourself Addicted?
I have a couple of normals whom I love dearly, and am planning on getting one more (enough to fill up a three tray rack; maybe a 4) and I'm done.
They do receive a near OCD level of care, however.
