I actually feel this hobby is, in many cases well suited for "settled adults". Don't get me wrong because once you have the care/housing down snakes are generally easy pets, and with fairly basic requirements, they can be maintained by a busy teen or college student.
That said, your previous situation was an example of life throwing a curve and forcing you to give up a passion for very real reasons.
Its great to see you settled and dialed in.
What a beauty to get back into snakes with!
Sometimes we think we are settled, and then, we're not.
At 47, I *think* I'm settled!
