Re: Just a couple questions

My first two acquisitions were over one year apart and I gathered information for a loooong time before I had the confidence to get that first one.

Aah, sarcasm.. No false modesty this time, you're damn right it's a lesson for all of you.

How many new snakes will you have by the end of this year, James?

Re: Just a couple questions

I must say I agree with the rest. With a bit till your snakes settle down and eat. And normally a quarantine period is the best thing to do, you will be certain that no sick snake can infect your collection.

On a side note. I bought my first snake (lampro) than waited 3 years and bouth my first thamnophis ( a young couple ) and than waiting another 4 year till I bought the next one's... but it went very fast after that, could it be that I'm working and living alone now?? Naaa

whoosh
all my guilt feelings over my lack of self restraint this year were just blown out into the ozone

I did go a lot more slowly in the beginning
it's a lot more enjoyable to have one's critters set up and thriving before adding something new, because it so thoroughly sucks when things go wrong with several animals all at once
