    Why is my husbandry horrible?
    Please let me know. I want to fix it. We got money for the ring so we can buy stuff.
    As for adopting my snakes out...I've considered it before. Really, I'm just waiting until I'm 18 (February!) so I can get a job. Long story, but I'm not allowed to get a job while living in my house. I have been filling out applications, and I'm waiting until my b-day so I can help earn money to pay for things. That's one reason we haven't adopted the snakes out, though trust me, we have considered it once before.
    By pawning the ring, I didn't mean every month we are totally broke. This month we had to buy a stroller for my sister in law's baby shower, our van broke from the cold weather, and...yeah. That sucked. Fortunately, even if the van does break again next month, we'll be able to pay for that, but the expense of the stroller (those suckers are costly) will be used for snake food since we don't have to buy another one or anything.
    The point is though my snakes have never gone without food.
    Also, just my .02 cents since you put yours out (and I appreciate you doing so), parents don't get rid of their children because they can't afford it. People would be angry, I think, if they did that. Why are my snakes different? I'm taking care of them, on a low income yes, but they're not getting burned, they don't go hungry, they get cleaned up after regularly and are healthy (I have brought them to the vet before.) They are mite and parasite free...
    I just don't see why just because we are struggling means they should go out the door.
    So far, my snakes are healthy. If that changes and I can't afford to fix it, yes, I'll probably adopt them out to someone....but that's why I'm constantly asking you guys if my husbandry is ok, etc. Nobody has said thus far that I need to be concerned, besides of course not having a t-stat which I have all picked out and I'm going to purchase today or tomorrow.
    From everything 'I've been hearing my snakes are ok, so I don't think I need to adopt them out.
    Please, please, let me know why you think my husbandry is bad, MitsuMike. I would like to fix it.
    Thanks,
    Shellie
