You got that right brother.
I'm retired in 4.5 years and I think the kids will be close to out of the house by then. I think my wife may crumple a little around that time. I have a good buddy who can build about anything. I may start my own zoo.
Ideally, I could find some totally arboreal snakes and some completely terrestrial snakes and have a habitat where they live in sympatry.
Probably not a great idea when it comes to transmitting disease although if it were large enough and they never crossed paths it would be fun.
I could build one huge room sized enclosure and house a couple of big coastals!
Dreams LOL!
