    Cashed out

    Well after ten years of cleaning snake and rat poo, I'm very happy to say I'm all done. Sold my entire collection including all the equipment, rats, you name it. Its all gone. In a way I feel a loss, but at the same time I am so happy.
    I think what happened was a great hobby exploded, and turned into a crazy amount of animals and work. I might buy a ball again someday...but just one.


    Thank you to everyone that bought animals from me over the years. I met so many great people because of ball pythons.

    Sorry to see you go. Glad it was on your own terms though and not something that forced you to get out of the hobby. Best of luck with your future endeavors

    It's sad to see you go, but I don't blame you. I sometimes wonder what life would be like with 100 less animals to care for! I wish you luck in whatever you do!

    It's always been a good rule of thumb to stop when you aren't having fun anymore! Glad that you made your choice and went out on your terms. Enjoy retirement
