Sorry to hear that you're feeling as you do. Sometimes life just has a way of stealing our zeal. It seems you've had a tough go of late, and that has included your snakes. Do you think you may be suffering from some depression? It will definitely rob you of your passion and it does it in a way that you may have trouble recognizing. It creeps in like fog so you don't notice it. But once its thick enough, its hard to find your way back. You may want to look into it as some of what you have described seems syptomatic.
I agree with another poster about staying on task as far as the care. It is our responsibility to care for our animals even when we don't feel like it. But I think it's alright to ask for help too. Sometimes we just can't do it all. Try putting reminders on your phone just so that you do not let things go for too long. Above all you need to care for yourself first otherwise you won't be capable of caring for anything else, regardless of your desire. I have seen many posts on the forum here where "you" have done your best to be the light in the darkness. I hope we can be that for you now and you can work through this.
