I know some of you care...I keep reptiles myself...including balls...notice I've been a member for years......I just rarely ever use the reptile forums anymore...lol I started in reptiles before I ever had rodents (besides hamsters as a kid...lol). I originally got mice to breed feeders (and b/c I liked them), but quickly came to really love them....and now I keep and breed both. Right now I have 2 balls, 3 atbs, an ornate flying snake, 2 russian tortoises, and a rankins dragon.
It is interesting being involved in both hobbies...a lot of reptile people shun rodent lovers and visa versa.
