1 000 000$ and no more reptiles...
a while back there was a poll asking: would u give up your snakes/reptiles for £/$ 1,000,000???
http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showt...threadid=22067
It was quite fun to read, but there was one thing in the answer that bugged me a bit, some people answered saying things like "yes i would sell them and buy them back" , etc..
I'd like to re-post the poll, but my question is more precise.
Would you give up the herp hobby AND your animals for 1 000 000$ ?
This means you wouldn't be able to keep or take care of any herps for the rest of your life.

Me and my boyfriend had this talk back when the other poll was made. We were both in unison that we would not give up our animals and the hobby for 1,000,000. He did say though that he would sell all of ours for that price, but if he did that he would have to deal with me.

I agree with Scotty. I would give up herps, shampoo, Tim hortons coffee, razors, anything for a million dollars.

I say No now, but i probably would. I could go after my true passion, horses, if I sold my herps for 1 million $.

I would. I could get my own studio set up at home with that amount of money, plus tons of gear and things i desperately need right now, that would definately push me an easy step further toward my dreams.

I talked to my non-herp hubby about it. He said yes to the herps but no for the dogs-LOL. I love my animals like I do my family. We don't have kids so we focuse our attention on them. It's hard to say in the end though. You never know what you would say unless you've been in a situation as such.

I couldn't, it would be like giving up my happiness. My herps are more than just pets, breeders, etc. They're even more than family. To me, my herps are my peace of mind, whenever I'm down, I handle them, feed them, clean the cages, and by the end of the day, I'm happy again. I never got that kind of satisfaction from any other pets.
