I've rehomed and said goodbye to loved critters because of relationship demands before, it's never easy. I've curtailed the collection to an agreed amount in the past, also not easy and the jonesing can get intense in the moment. Currently very lucky to be involved with someone with as much passion for reptiles as I have. However, I am not above bribing either if it might work. That's how I got 'yet another' BP a while back, the aptly named 'PS4'
I've had to re-home animals in the past too, and I hated it. I don't want to go through that again. More important to me to stay committed the animals I have and to Katie than acquire another one. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't still want . It just means I am being rational and honoring my commitments and relationships.
