Everyone doubts themselves every once in a while. Part of the human condition. Like how BPs don't eat. My recommendation would be to find another small side hobby and get your mind off of snakes for a bit. Then go back. They will be here when you come back, I guarantee.

As for your advice, it's been great for me so far...no complaints.
I'm sure you'll bounce back in no time. Maybe just give it a little time to digest because keeping a collection is a huge responsibility...which I won't preach you on because you already know it is. If you want it bad enough, you'll get it.

Just remember:
No one learned anything by succeeding. Its only through failure that anything valuable gets deduced and accomplished.

Hope this helps
