is a new facility - that's what we throw all of our money into right now. It's not about "living large" - we don't drive fancy cars or live the high life. Things like that are important to some people...not so much to us. So much goes back into various projects...that's the problem with being herp fanatics - there's always that next cool animal!!!
We also have some truly fabulous employees - good help is hard to find, and when you have employees there are ALL sorts of expenses that go along with it...not that we're complaining - many of our guys are very specialized and do so well with their animals. We'd be lost without them. Our retic guy is one of the best keepers I've met - hands down. He just "gets it" with the big snakes, and we are so thankful he's here - he is one of our many rock stars!!! 
"........tell me you and Kev do NOT have $100,000 a year plus to play with plus the hundreds of thousands you already spent on snakes?????"
Ok...we do not have $100k a year plus to play with. Maybe in a few years? Too many things going on right now - new place in the "start up" phase...being able to set everything up just how you want is pricey, but worth it in the long run.
It's all relative - we "make do" with a LOT, and that's great! Because there are always cool snakes to play with...and that's why it all started in the first place!
