Nathan, it is great that you realize its just a hobby for your personal enjoyment. I burnt out a few year back with family and job commitments and sold off all my animals except two pet snakes. I am now back into it and I certainly understand where you are coming from. With breeding season approaching and 30 snakes, four lizards, and five tortoises to care for, time is critical. The kids still need help with homework and after school attention, and the wife still needs help with dinner after her full time job. My family is not a hobby and give me more joy than keeping reptiles will ever provide. I now have about a half hour to hour of herp chores daily keeping up with everything and getting my adult colubrids breeding. So far so good and no regrets. However, I will sell off everything in a heartbeat again if need be. If it aint fun, I dont want to do it LOL!!
