Zahara my 20 yr old boa

[PiperPython]

One thing I have seen frequently is the "all out" mentality. I understand the excitement as I felt it the same as most I assume, but what happens in many situations is that folks new to the hobby become so infatuated with things and want everything NOW. They don't sit back and enjoy, study or appreciate what they have. All too often the whole collection ends up sold or placed and the interest in the hobby dies when things move too fast.

I want to comment on this and thank you for posting this. As someone who suffers from the all-out mentality in literally every facet of life, I found snake keeping to be no different. In the short time I have been keeping snakes, I have definitely acquired 2.5x more than I really need. However, I am currently transitioning to making this my career so I am sort of committing myself to it in a few ways. That being said, I do NOT want to suffer from burnout simply because I moved too fast.

These words will stay in my head. Thank you, Gio.

Again, Zahara is just exquisite. Thank you for sharing.
