I like the theory of bringing in others.

That's a good and reasonable concept. I always read about people saying they have all these friends that have this snake and want that snake. I wonder where these people are. I don't know a single person, with the exception of a guy I used to know that owned an exotic store back when I was 9 and 10. He used to let me hang around his shop and help out. He taught me so much and I looked up to him a lot. I was very close with his family for years. I haven't talked to him now for about 3 years now, but he was breeding a lot of boas, tortoises, and geckos. Last time I talked to him, he was selling everything to focus on his other businesses. Pretty much lost the passion. Except for him, I am the only other person I know who doesn't think I'm a freak for raising snakes for the last 20 years. I used to get beaten up to taunts of "snake-boy" when I was a little kid. All my friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc, couldn't care less about how much I love my snakes. When I brag about a new clutch I had to get into the incubator that caused me to be 20 minutes late for work, they humor me by listening, but you can see on their face that they just think I'm weird. And they will obviously never get it. So for me, this has always been, and I hope always will be a thing of exclusivity. I prefer it that way. I love being the most different one in my world, and NEVER want to be like everyone else.
