Supportive better half? Who has it and who doesn't?

[Simple Man]

My wife's father had a boa and burm when she was little. She actually sparked my interest and we purchased a normal bp from PetSmart. Well, just like many other stories, I got bit by the bug. I then proceeded to build a rack and start filling it, lol. My wife is very supportive, I do all the cleaning, she likes to help with feedings and she helps with the rats.
I am definitely one of the lucky ones.

That's awesome Cory. My girlfriend wants nothing to do with the feedings but I'll take it

I dont have better half.. and sometimes (ok most of the time) i think my passion make find one more difficult ...

Just in case Ladies I'll be on White plains Show April 22

You're funny Rafel. It can be an obstacle but a better half worth finding won't see it that way.

I am/was the supportive better half. My husband and I agreed on the snake (I'd never held a snake before in my life) with the agreement that he'd do all the work.

Well...25+ snakes later I'm the one doing 99% of the feeding, cleaning, etc. The collection is "ours" but we do have "his" snakes and "mine." The boas are his, the blood is his, the Hondurans are his and the brooks kingsnake is his. The rest are my babies.

We discuss and plan breeding projects together, but its me who does the tub-hopping and keeping track of stuff. We attend shows together, but its me fawning over the balls and trying to justify a purchase by fitting it into an already-existing breeding project. (Ok Ok...starting a whole new breeding project as justification of the purchase... )

I'm by no part demeaning his participation...its really developed into a hobby for both of us rather than just "his" snake.

That's really neat. My girlfriend is not on that level yet but who knows, if she keeps up like this she might find her way there You got a good thing going.
