A few individuals that have known of my recent thoughts of moving away from mutations have all agreed on one similar point. As they have all said to me, I am definitely a different person than I was 5 years ago and even more so now while being at the top of my game. One of the main reasons for this personal change is that I have recently become a new father. Having a daughter now and a son on his way in 4 weeks has really put some things in perspective and helped to prioritize what is most important. A few have asked, why then go a different direction now that that you have children? My answer is that the sinaloan/nelson's make up a good portion of my collection and by simply cutting back and refining to what I really enjoy keeping, actually allows for more important time with my family. Ultimately, I want my children to know me as that awesome dad who takes them to cool places to find neat looking snakes and not a boring dad who does nothing but spends all of his time in the snake room cleaning tons of poop. I am sure the guys with children probably can relate.
