I just got off work and read this thread and wanted to comment on it. I got into snakes late in life about 10 years ago. I started with cornsnakes and within a year I had my first pythons, Children,s. a friend of mine gave me two right out of the egg. It just so happened they were a pair. Then I got a pair of burms. I raised all of them from babies. That's what I really enjoy doing raising them up and watching them grow. when the Children's were three years old, I went ahead and bred them. When it got close for her to have them I was going and checking on her every day.One day when I got home from work I looked in on her and she was laying her clutch. I was just in ah I just sat in my chair that I had in the snakeroom and watched her. after she was done. I put the eggs in an incubator that I had made up. When the day came for them to hatch, and I saw the first baby out and about I was hooked for life. well I kept two out of the cluch and sold the rest. I raised up those babies. To me that's the fun of this hobby. About two years ago I had to have major surgey done. I was out of work for almost a year. I had to make some tuff choses. I sold off all my snakes. But I told myself some day I will get snakes again. And here I am to day back at my old job.( been there 15yrs) And I am able to get snakes again. Well I went back online and decided that since I am older now (55) that I needed to go a little smaller. I felt that burms were just to big, by the time they got to be huge I would be to old to handle them. So I went with some hondos and Fl kings. So I bought the all the books I could find and started to read. Will I breed yes. To make money no. I will breed so I can have a few snakes that I produced. Sorry if I rambled to long but I just thought that you guys should know not all new guys are looking to be the next best breeder.

thanks
