i dont like to think about all the money i've spent. 14 snakes, 9 lizards,2 very confused cats and i always have a new enclosure project going on. i also breed roaches, mealworms, rats, crickets, and just about anything else. this was supposed to be a hobby to pass away some free time! no time left now. well, i have a very forgiving wife and a very interested 9yr old daughter. i am blessed.

Not nearly enough *LOL*

So far I've only spent about $300 or so. I'm sure in the next little while I'll be spending an additional $300-$2000 depending on my priorities.

So far, my snakes have cost me less than my cats! I figure that I have probably spend $340CDN a year on rats for 3 snakes, plus another $200 in supplies. The snakes alone only cost me $200 for all three( $120 BP and $60 for 2 BCI). The cat on my lap right now has already cost me $500 in vet bills and she is only 4 months old! Yikes!

Pets to me are like my children though, so I am willing to spend money on them.

5 cats: Harry, Merlin, Casey, Sally, Pixel
2 ferrets: Bear, Rosie
1 dog: Chester
2BCI: Honey Bun, Jake
1BP: Annie
Equals lots of $$$$
