Bob,again I would have to agree with you too. It has been a long time for me with multiple snakes. I had upwards of 75 snakes about 15 years ago and just lost interest after 10 years of keeping. Now I am a single father with 2 beautiful daughters, and they are old enough to learn some of the things I knew way back when. Also, learn some of the new tips and tricks of the hobby. When I was a senior in High school all the money I made went to purchasing animals. Collection grew to large to quick. Back then it wasn't about the quality but the quantity of animals kept.

Now as I am older I still have a decent amount to buy but I am more selectful in my purchasing. My favorites earlier in life were corns, California kings, and hognose. Now I am mostly tricolors and after being away for some time I have a whole new appreciation for you guys that stuck through it for years and produced some of the most beautiful animals in the hobby today!

Thanks again, ol' timers for keeping this hobby as personal and enjoyable as I remembered.
