Hi Craig! I remember all those awesome pics you would post. How are your gorgeous animals doing? Still producing stunning babies?

James- I think what happened with me is that I had taken a year off of work, and during that time, our number of pets has drastically increased (Not just snakes). When I was not working, I had all the time in the world to give ALL our animals plenty of attention. I really enjoyed them during that time. Now I am back to work, and have more animals than ever (and still growing). But I sometimes find I am struggling to stay above water just getting the cleaning, feeding, and medical treatments done (some of the rescues that come in require diligent care). Sometimes I am so tired, I really don’t feel like doing snake chores. I have also noticed that since I started working, when I do chores, I sometimes cut corners, or rush a little, thus I have been bit several times in the last 6 months (goes without saying, all MY fault). These are mistakes I never would have made before when I had two or three snakes.

I think another part of it is I am so tired of what my living room looks like. I sometimes watch those home decorating shows, and would like to do some things to my living room, but that is impossible with all the caging everywhere... between the snakes, the tarantulas, the crickets and the mealworms (thank god I am not breeding mice right now, that is H E L L). There is just no where else to put them but in the living room.

Btw... I am bringing home more this weekend. ha ha ha.
Not sure what, but the adoption chair called me to be sure I was going to be at the meeting this Friday. She said she has a surprise for me. I know it is some kind of snake, and I suspect it is a young Brazilian Rainbow Boa... she knows I want one. Not to mention I am looking into possibly getting two more T’s this weekend as well (ornamentals). The T’s are actually my husbands, but he is on the road 100% of the time, so I take care of them 100% (he gets home about every 6 weeks).

Good to have decent mature people to talk to here

Craig, hope to see new pics soon!!
