Thanks. You've got to do what you feel is best for you personally.

There are many of us here that work REAL hard at not keeping a lot of snakes. We are not new, just trying to keep ourselves in check. Many of us have had big collections and hatched out babies and just don't want to do it anymore. Keeping fewer allows you the time to spend time with family and friends and other pursuits and to try different things on the few, like cages etc. Also keeps you from burning out and ditching your hard worked for collection which is a very common scenario in this hobby.

The way I personally look at it, and it's just my view, is that anybody fortunate enough to have a decent job can pretty much buy most anything out there and breed it etc. The rewarding part is finding the few select ones YOU choose to keep because YOU like them and don't mind cleaning their cages hundreds of times. Theres a lot of nice stuff out there. You can't keep it all.

Happy herping
