Now, I feel extremely tempted to go with that and just use the enclosure money saved to get another snake at the next expo or on morph market...though, i feel like my girlfriend would kill me (even if she doesnt live with me), thats enough to scare me a bit even if my dad said it would be probably ok . With this dilemma, I wanted to see if any of you could come up with something to dissuade me from making the purchase and to go back with my original idea of getting a T8 enclosure for my single snake. If you cant think of any, tell me the pros and cons of a rack, and what snake I should get! (And how to hide properly from the gf, because im sure she smells fear...)

Note the GF loves snakes herself, she just doesnt like me spending money

Oh you’ve got the bug! I used to run racks and I’ll likely go back to them in the next few years. My only hangup with racks is it takes away from the visual of owning a snake... which in your case may be to your advantage. I’ve been sinking around with bioactive lately and find that rewarding.

I live with my boyfriend and surprised him two weeks ago with three new snakes, my money, my hobby, my snakes, my responsibility. That’s how I view it. He’s supportive and I compromise on fish tanks. We have balance


The question is why get more? Do you intend to breed? Do you enjoy the morphs? Do you simply just enjoy feeding? Do you like their personalities? Do you want more because gosh darn it it snakes are amazing?

Think about why, if you can find a solid answer to that then go for it. Remember more snakes =more time, more feeders, and more cleaning and maintenance. Let’s not forget that they live a long time!

As to what morph that depends on you! I love pieds so I have two, I love bananas, so I have one, think about what you like to look at, think about your goals and then decide! What do you currently have? Also if your gf loves snakes a way to get her on board is to maybe spend some time on world of ball pythons with her investigating what morphs she likes, and maybe she can give input as to what type of snake to add
