I'm not getting a Snake

Thanks everyone - after adding up the costs of initial setup: lid (I have a tank), heat pad, hygrometer, bedding, hides, the snake itself, and feeder rats (which are expensive around here, by the way). I realized it was just too much cost for now.

I may slowly buy each piece one at a time and eventually I will have a setup, then snake will come when budget allows!

This is how I am feeling as well. Recent physical injuries have costed me lots of money for my own treatment. I was going to start my breeder's collection by buying a nice Pastel Het OG girl from mykee, but I think I may need to hold off until one or two more paychecks arrive. Makes me sad but I gotta take care of myself before I can take on another snake

I love our community here and how we all genuinely love snakes so much. (y)

amazon.com is a great place to find the lowest prices on many of those things, you can make your own hides out of tuperware and bedding you can use paper towels, its not the prettiest solution, but its cheap. All pets are expensive, but you can reduce the cost to yourself by buying smart. Also flexwatt can be had for cheap if you're ok using it and sort of making your own heat pad yourself.
