Why are ball pythons (and other snakes/reptiles) so addictive?

Jodan bought 3 snakes in the middle of an Addiction thread. That's like taking a bottle of Jager to an AA meeting. lol

Yes. Hi, my name is Eric and I have a problem.

We're all here for you, Eric. You're not alone. Acknowledging the problem is step one... Hahahahaha!!

Oh trust me guys. I took the high road on this one but I would def have a room full of boas right now if I had the space for a bunch of big enclosures. We will probably be buying our forever house next year and it's going to have a giant snake room.

Yeah, my most recent place I made sure I had room for my snakes and my motorcycles. Problem is that no matter how big the space is I find a way to fill it.

My girlfriend and I are in the process of deciding whether or not to turn our two family into our forever house. She has already acknowledged that we will need a snake room. Yup, that's one of the reasons she's a keeper Right now the snake room is "my" bedroom where we have an extra bed I go to when I get kicked out of bed for snoring too loud. It was originally the "guest" bedroom but it became my snake room, and I'm sure most of our guests would be a bit squeamish about sleeping in a room with 4 snakes living in it. Oh well, I guess we need an official snake room (then I can add a few more snakes! )!!

Well I've bought two in the same time period so I'm not much better

My snakes are in my office. I have plenty of room but before I have multiple larger snakes I'm def going to get a small rodent breeding operation going and that is def not an option for me now. I def have a keeper too. She loves the snakes and looks at them like her babies. The first snake she ever held was an 8 foot Olive Python at a reptile show and she hasn't looked back. I'm so lucky and thank my stars because I can't live without her. it took me a year to warm her up but she is good to go now. lol
