I think I need an intervention : )

Starting to feel the itch to get another snake even though I know I'm not supposed to until LATE next year. I just don't think I can make it that long. I really want a bull snake or a brooksi kingsnake. I don't think my girlfriend will really break my neck, even though she swears she will. I can take her. LOL. Serenity now...Deep breath...I will not buy any more snakes until next year. I will not buy any more snakes until next year. I will not buy any more snakes until next year. I will not buy any more snakes until next year.

Re: I think I need an intervention : )

You two are NOT helping. LOL. Encouraging me to relapse? Really guys? I'm trying to show some restraint here : ) I can't believe you two. I have decided (4) snakes is my max. One for each of the (4) elements and directions. So I'll get (2) more NEXT YEAR. That's my final answer! BTW Hannibal Caesar crushed a small mouse last night. I really thought it was going to be too big but he inhaled that thing. He didn't touch it when I just dropped it in his feeding bin but he struck hard when I dangled it in front of him. His strike and constriction are getting much stronger. Sasha Fierce took her sweet time and lazily ate her hopper. She's growing too.

My garters have a really strong feeding response. If you're not watching them when you put your hand in the enclosure, they will nip at you haha but you've got this ziggy! You can wait! We believe in you!!

Re: I think I need an intervention : )

Hey El Ziggy! I wanted you to know that I exercised restraint this week. I ran across some beautiful cal king morph babies from a local breeder and let the opportunity pass! Aren't you proud of me? LOL

Good job Steve, I am proud of you. We're doing a nice job of controlling our impulses. I saw a really nice Striped Cal King at PetSmart last week. I just kept on walking : )

Re: I think I need an intervention : )

I really want another snake even though I just got one a month ago! So I feel for you Ziggy. I don't know if I could go to another reptile show and not get one. There were milk snakes for $20!! I really want a Nelsons. Bad.
