one of my main reasons for getting another is because i love my lil guy so much, but most of the time he just chills in his hide. i don't like to disturb him and make him all stressfull, so i only handle him 2-3 times a week. if i have another guy i would be able to have more "snake time" in a sense. i also want to widen my variety of snakes, so eventually i have a little of everything.
