About that "addiction" to reptiles...for some years in the past I had WAY more than I do now (currently 16 snakes), & I'll be honest, it's more enjoyable (at least
for me) when I have fewer. It's easy to get burned out with too much work & responsibility, no matter how passionate you are about breeding or rescuing, you
can easily end up resenting what you began by loving. Plenty of people have burned out in this...we're all different, for sure, but the priorities in our lives have
a sneaky way of changing on us too, just when you think that everything is "settled".
I want to stay under 12 snakes total. 4 large, 6ft plus, and the rest will range in size, but nothing much bigger than 6ft.
