Zina, you asked for it!

well kinda, it's like living the dream, minus the janitorial work (hognose do poop a LOT) and feeder breeding.

I love what I do and I am fortunate enough to be able to do it and make my childhood dream come true and that is priceless.

Yeah, colubrids (Hognose are colubrids, right? - Showing my naivety here) like to poop. My boids do a lot at once, but Figment, my corn, seems to enjoy pooping, and often.

Is it just me, or does colubrid/mouse poop smell awful? Big boid rat poop doesn't bother me as much as what Figment happily produces for me after a good mouse supper.

Either way, and sorry for the gross topic, but very happy for you Deborah. Very cool to make dreams come true and be passionate about work/what we do for a living. Of course, I deal with numbers all day and love it. Excel doesn't smell as bad as poop, but then again, I am sure many people would rather clean poop than deal with spreadsheets and numbers all day!

Your passion is inspiring.
