I do love them. I work from home most days and usually take a few minutes at lunch and the end of the day to bond with them and unwind.
It’s a great area. I could not be happier. So blessed to have the time, space, and a loving and supportive fiancé who let me take over 1/3 of her finished basement.
I hear you on the blessed part. My wife of 17 years has always been a lover of reptiles and we have had many over the years. She's the one that put the bug in my head to get a BP again and agreed right away to make it 2 instead of 1.
