these creatures are, but they also deserve owners who are responsible about any medical needs that may arrive. Please think about that before you add more? You
are not the first one, nor will you be the last...it's also for anyone else making similar & hasty decisions to keep adding more animals than they can really afford if or
really WHEN they get sick or injured. Stuff happens without warning, & sometimes many animals in a collection get sick at once also.
Thank you Bogertophis for your concern regarding my collection although I think you may have misunderstood what I was trying to say! If anyone of my babies got sick I could get it treatment, but if my whole collection got wiped out at the same time with something bad that would be a different story. I am a very responsible owner who takes alot of pride in my collection with the exception of my TP rat snake escaping. I still to this day am hard on myself for what happen, but I know I am not the only one that has happened to. Just comes with owning snakes!!! Also none of my decisions are hasty and I research before I buy. I am NOT saying I dont make mistakes because Of course I am only human but I know what I can and cant handle in life...Thanks again!
