I don't have the biggest collection in the world, but I'm starting to get that nagging feeling of 'I don't know if this is what I want anymore'.

My introduction into herps was a leopard gecko, even though I've always wanted a snake. However, I kept the leo as a friend wanted to get into breeding and wanted me as a partner.
I kept one baby leo from our 1st season as hold-back for next season.

But tbh---my first passion is my parrot---and now that I have my BP I know that for me, my reptile of choice has no legs.

I'm tired of the crickets escaping, the smell, the mealies...and although my leos are extremely well take care of, I'm starting to be disinterested and resentful. Its too much money for something I'm not feeling good about anymore.
I feel guilty about it though---like some sort of whiny kid 'omg omg I want it k...now I'm bored'.

The other thing is I'm unexpectedly going back to school to get a degree as a Vet Tech. I *know* my time will be limited. My money will be even more so, and I shudder to think what happens if the parrot needs vet work...I'll be stretched thin. There is NO way in hell a landlord will want me breeding crickets...and crickets alone for a colony of 3 females and 1 male is easily $30 dollars a month if store bought. Then there's feeding all the babies...

I'm thinking I'm just going to quit while I'm ahead and rehome my two leos. I do enjoy breeding reptiles, and will do so as I can...just with ball pythons instead.

Advice anyone?
