Wow, if I'd known this was coming, I never would have poked fun at your albino project! It hope my tongue-in-cheek (more like foot-in-mouth!) comments haven't diminished anyone's enthusiasm for (or value of) the exceptional milksnakes you've worked so hard to produce.
I don't have any kids of my own, but as someone who deliberately keeps his collection as small as willpower allows, I can relate to your desire to keep your hobby from encroaching on more important areas of your life. Your kids will thank you for it someday. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of accompanying my father (who's lurking on this forum... hi, Dad!) on trips through the woods, looking for herps, rare plants, or unusual rocks and minerals. Even a walk through the backyard can be an adventure... train those kids up right, and they could be herping before they've even grown a full head of hair. I'm living proof that it's possible!
