Sounds like you are a little dissappointed that you are getting bored, but boredom is a sign of intelligence you know.
I would suggest you start doing a bit or reaserch on species you like, or species that live in you area...find out what cool herps live near you, how they live, what their habits are.
Then get some buddies together, go out and find them...photo them...figure out what populations are around you...etc.
Learning about the natural history of the animals may re-kindle your interests. "Back in the day"...when I was a kid (and I have a son that's your age...just FYI), we didn't have animals avaiable everywhere, and we learned through learning the habits and natural history of the animals.
Warning...it can be addicitive. Check on on some of the field herping websites, you'll see what I mean. But it's a healthy hoppy, a lot better than a lot of the other things teens get messed up in, you'll learn a lot, and TRUST me...it's a hell of a lot more fun than just cleaning poop out of a cage twice a week.
