I want 2.8k worth of snakes and no one understands!!!!
Grrrrrr. My want list is growing but my family thinks I am nuts! My last purchase was $275 and they thought that was crazy. They make me feel kind of guilty for buying these critters. My husband does not really like snakes and just kind of deals with them because I like them but he is far from obsessed like I am. My kids look at me like I have two heads as I look at pages and pages of different color snakes that all look the same. How do you guys deal with those close to you that just do not understand? How do you justify your purchases to them? Do you feel guilty? Just wanted to vent a little.

My family and my girlfriends family don't understand my passion. They hate snakes. My girlfriend is the only one who supports me. I told them someday when I'm making thousands on my amazing new morphs to not come knocking on my door for cash. I showed them the first male lemon pastel coral glow on NERDs site going for $65,000 and the bout died at how much it was going for. And just a little extra tid bit my list is costing me $12,000+ for all 22-24 snakes.

Yeah, it's a hobby, some people spend thousands on fishing equipment, some people spend thousands on snakes. And remember, some people will just never "get it".

There aren't a lot of people out there who think dumping a bunch of money into snakes is a good idea. Can't say I blame them

I totally agree with this. Everyone needs a hobby! Tell them you could spend $275 on a snake or $275,000 on a hotrod car. Which would they prefer??? (They'll choose the car, but you don't have the money for that. Sooo.....)

Not so sure about that, but so much cooler.
