Buying a new snake is always a dire emergency.

If you have been told to ask for admission to get into your home because you have so many animals.
If when you walk down the rubbermaid aisle at wal-wart and think "oww the possibilities."

Re: You may be a herpaholic if.......
even though you had not planned on breeding this season, you get excited when you realize your female retained sperm, and will be giving you a litter this year!

Yes they can, Sand Boas have been known to do it quite often. My female Paradox Albino retained sperm from last seasons breeding. I wasn't thrilled at first, but now i cannot wait to see those little worms arrive

Keith Mc Peek from The Bloodline had a female Black Blood lay a clutch of eggs after not being with a male for over a year.
Back to topic. If you have costumers come up to you at work and ask if you really have a bunch of snake? When you answer yes they want to know if they could bring their kids or grand kids over to see them.
Also if after people see your collection then comment that you have cooler snakes and a bigger variety than the local zoo.

It's common. usually they retain for one breeding season, in case they do not encounter a suitable male.
A few cases of "second season" retentions have been noted (holding it for two seasons) but that's rare.

If you have to cover the snake enclosures so your boyfriend can go into the pet room to play with his fluffy hamster Mr. Sprinkles

Re: You may be a herpaholic if.......
You buy whipped topping because the container makes a cheap hide for smaller snakes.
You ask for an amazon gift card for your birthday or Christmas, so the "non-animal" folks think you're buying clothes, books, or movies when you're really getting thermostats and UTH's.
You check the racks each morning for little (or not so little) messes before you even have your coffee.

You eat a YO-Crunch! yogurt because the lid makes a great water dish for neonate colubrids.
