one key thing to remember, this is (or at least should be) a long term commitment. These guys can and do live for 20 years and more. My oldest is a "normal" from 1989. While there is a demand for babies and morph adults, older boas even morphs might not be easy to find a new home for. From your other posts you are starting college soon and still living at home. What do you plan to do when you get a "real" job, married, buy a house, have kids etc. All those things can and will fill your waking hours (especially the newborn baby). Will you still have and commit time to your snakes?



All this from a guy with 20 snakes. I enjoy my collection and of course spend time every day (some days a fair amount) taking care of them.
