Well it is starting to become a problem
My first of two snakes ordered in the last two weeks arrived today. This is the first snake my wife has a had a part in picking out, so we ended up with our first female snake. She even picked out the perfect name for her. With the next addition I think I am at place where I have enough snakes to keep me happy while the care is not overwhelming.
This snake is the most inquisitive and interested one I have ever encountered, especially as this is her first day with us. She was out exploring her enclosure and watching me work since she arrived at 10 am. She readily took a large pinky this evening and is still out exploring. I know she would be a striking snake but I have to admit that I am smitten with the little gal. Introducing Bella Luna or Luna for short.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
So, you have a beautiful new baby with a great disposition, what's the problem? Also, what exactly is she? Looks like a BEL from the pic.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
The problem is the collecting and the money spent. She is a black rat snake of course.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
Congrats on the new addition MC. I thought it was a leucistic rat snake too. Now I know better.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
Sorry to confuse everyone. She is a leucistic black rat snake. I just like the juxtaposition of a white snake called a black rat snake.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
Minkness certain black rats and a Texas rat are now considered the same species so in a way you are correct. I chose a black rat due to reports of their temperament.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
O just the opposite black rats are known to be a little more docile than their lone Star brothren.

Re: Well it is starting to become a problem
The couple wild adult black rats I've found were pretty easily handled. I kept one for a couple weeks back in college, found the feeding response rather funny compared to my red tail boa. Never showed any aggressive behavior toward me though, just a total spaz when (live) mice were offered.
Nothing wrong with collecting as long as you're caring for them properly. Money is relative, just don't spend more than you can afford.
