Yes, I hear you there. Started with one and now have 3. I'm limited by my wife as well. I've been trying to get another but the battle is not going well.Originally Posted by dkatz4
"Acquire a few more animals..." If you can convince my wife, I will be eternally grateful!!
i'll try, I will, but this snake is addictive, he's like leathery Valium. Actually we have a new baby expected in a few weeks (actual human baby) so I have a feeling that giving the snake some time off between sessions will not be a problem.
As far as the feeding is concerned, I know they fast and are built for famine, rationally I know that. But this being my first time, I just can't help but feel pensive about the prospect of not feeding him for a few months. That being said, when do you think a good time to stop feeding (or slow down as the case may be)? I was figuring around mid November when it starts to get frosty overnight and then get back to food in March. What do y'all do? And keep in mind I'm basing on weather not calendar.
Your human baby will be a nice addition but they eat and sleep a lot so you are home doing nothing but waiting on feeding and diaper changes. Being home and having another snake or two is a great idea. It is a wonderful excuse to stay home and watch the baby!
What other hobby keeps you at home and entertained in a quiet kind of way?
I'm obviously trying to give you a springboard here LOL! Maybe another snake would be perfect in a month or two.
I typically have started my cool down around November and started the warmup in mid to late March. Although my guy was not ready to feed in March so we took it until April.
I'd say a 3-6 month break is plenty fine if you are just raising a shoulder pet.
That timetable is not set in stone either. Everything can vary to some degree.
