Who hates waiting...

[kevinb]

So I was planning on moving out of my gfs house with this fall and FINALLY be able to do what I want animal wise. After taking about it long and hard though my gf and I decide it would be best to wait until we graduate from college in 2 years. We will be RNs then and have a substantial amount of money saved at that point to be able to build our dream house. Or atleast be able put a lot down on a mortgage or home equity. So that means I will be waiting for another 3+ years until I can have more snakes. It just kinda makes me sad. I convinced my gfs mom to let me get a pair of darts which will be here tomorrow, but I'm not sure it'll be the same as having and holding a bp. I know its for the best for me as well as the snakes, but it sucks.

Oh well that's life...and ill only be like 23-24 by that time so its okay I guess. Atleast ill be able to afford morphs and combos in the k's unlike now with base morphs in the 300-500 range.

Just wanted to vent on my impatience.

Thanks guys and gals.

Kevin,

The list of people I would fold, spindle, and mutilate to be 24 years old again is long and distinquished.

You have plenty of time, my man. No need to rush it. You'll get where you're going in due time. Please do me a favor and stop to smell a rose or two along the trail.

Consider yourself ahead of the game.

Haha yeah I know! We always want to be older when we're younger and younger when we're older.

I know it'll be worth it, its just hard coming on here and seeing other people gloat about getting a new snake and wishing it could be me.

I'm sure the time will fly by with working full time and going to school full time. Plus ill be breeding my darts.....but I just hate still having rules on animals and no space to do anything else.

Maybe ill need to pick up another hobby to occupy my time.....maybe become a hardcore fisherman or get back into skateboarding..


I dunno guys!

I would like to have more snakes myself but I live in an apartment and I already have four with room for no more. I must wait unitl I get a house and also I must wait until I have my bachelor's degree for the courses I will be taking. Schooling is going to take up a lot of my time and I want to be able to care for the snakes I already have. I also want to breed just once in my lifetime but it just isn't in the cards right now. I understand where you are coming from.

Haha, waiting sucks, I know!! I wanted snakes when I was a sophomore in high school but my mother was absolutely against it ("No animals in cages!" ). Even after I graduated I had to wait a year, and finally gave in when my boyfriend at the time said he'd let me keep them at his house. Even now with 1.2 BPs and a little pine snake (we're all under the same roof now) I'm itching to get more, but my current man and I have to get into our own house first so we'll have room. It is -so- hard, but absolutely worth it. I've already broken my no more animals rule and setting up arrangements to get an Egyptian uromastyx once we're out, and then I've got my wishlist of tarantulas to start on....

Don't worry, you aren't the only one frustrated with waiting, and while it isn't easy it's usually the best for both you and the animals

I'm still waiting. Patience.

Well if everything goes according to plan me and my gf will be CNAs by the end of summer and have jobs at the hospital. We should be making $10-14/hr which I make $8/hr now and but my boss is a jerk and won't give overtime even though I work 43-50 hours a week. He doesn't even pay me for the over 40 hours hours, he just rolls them to the next week and if your over 40 then too on to the next week. Its stupid. But with the CNA jobs ill have benefits, better pay, and a way in so that the hospital will pay for our schooling if we agree to work for them for said amount of years. Then either this fall or next spring we will be going for 2 years for or associates in nursing. Hopefully shortly after those years are done we will be building our big house. We will be building most of it ourselves as her dad, grandpa are carpenters, and my dad knows a bit about that too. It will have an attached 2 stall garage with an upstairs in the garage section as well which will be my man cave. Ill have the basement too if I need more space. Somewhere inbetween all this there will be a wedding and honeymoon as well. Lol. Its going to get crazy really fast so I'm hoping that will take my mind off things.

Just think of it as practice. Breeding Ball Pythons includes LOTS and LOTS of waiting.

Ill be breeding dart frogs soon, not AS much waiting but still it takes about 4 months for them to morph out. I'm trying to learn patients. :/
