    Re: 850 snakes found at New York animal control officer's house

    pure speculation: multiple sklerosis often requires a shot or two per week of interferon, and these shots have severe side effects knocking you out for half a day or a whole day, sometimes for two days. Also you get temporary numbness of limbs. My dad, under excellent medical care, went temporarily blind on one eye several times. Vision came back each time.

    You can work a snake collection slowly, or during the night, and when side-effects from meds knock you out for 36 hours you can get up at 3 am and replace water bowls and do spot cleaning. just pure assumptions, but still, snakes are forgiving. An 8 to 5 job would not be so forgiving if you randomly miss 2 days and show up at 3 am to do some work. if you miss lets say thursdays every other week.

    much data is missing, the only thing i know so far: if your BP collection gets seriously valuable and if you sell via a website, better make it a company and be CEO and get your books in order and pay taxes. But the whole thing about inability to do one job while working a different job, i just say its highly complicated and it can only be judged if you have all the information. I just gave a random example, i know enough diseases that kick you out of one job and trigger insurances and leave you able to do a different job. At my school, a sports teacher had a bad accident causing spinal injury and paralysis of the legs. In a wheelchair, he was unable to continue as a sports teacher, but habilitated at university to become a professor. He still does lots of sports, like wheelchair basketball, but is now teaching future sports teachers. And yes, his condition makes it impossible for him to do his former job. But as a university professor, he now earns much more.
