Yeah, I'm having a hard time with that. He says, "You're an adult." Then when I ask what his opinion is REALLY, he gives me 4 reasons NOT to get another snake. 1) $$$, 2) Time and attention to care for another pet, 3) we are still somewhat struggling with husbandry on our BP (humidity - though that would not be an issue with a Rosy Boa), and 4) we don't even have time to clean the fish tank.
My feeling is that a 2nd snake (and even a 3rd probably) is inevitable. It's just WHEN. So I could go the route of, "If I'm going to do it anyway, why wait?" Or I could go the route of, "Do more research, save up money, and learn delayed gratification."
VERY HARD decision.
Deep inside, I hope he loses it at the expo and HE ends up being the one to get a snake of his choice (he loves the emerald tree boa and the green tree python).![]()
