Haven't you ever been out in the field with another herper and all of a sudden you heard a scream, AWWWWWWW I've been Pheromoned. hahahahahahahahaha and it stinks, AWWWWWWWWWWW. Pheromoned right in the eye, AWWWWWWWWWW

LOL Frank, good one....

I don't like to think I am grabbing at straws Frank. I have only been doing this a few years. I have come a long way and seem to be pretty good at getting what I want out of my animals. I have told you before I simply do not have the money or space to have the room of my dreams, for now that is... but in the future I just may.

I am also not at all bored with my snakes. Matter of factly I turn down offers all the time on really cool snakes, many times for very cheap if not free simply because I do not want a mountain of containers, I really want a room full of display caging. I am guitly of chasing the next new morph but the bottom line is I still work with the first pair of Corns I ever produced babies out of and really have no intention of getting rid of any of my snakes due to money or boredom. I love my animals, but I do want and need to make money off of them. I do not want to go into detail how and why I ended up where I am now but all I can say is I am happy being a "breeder"....it seems to have worked out. Please realize that even if I am not capapble of taking some of your advice now and using it to further enjoy this hobby I still enjoy talking about it. What I am trying to do is accumulate info to perhaps better conditions as best I can with the room, cages, and temps I have now so my snakes can do better. I have a few ideas some may feel are retarded.....but I will try them out in 06 anyway. I think many people are happy with the way they do things and what they get out of thier snakes, I am one of them. Still... I don't think this is the end of the line. I would like to try different things and it seems not many of us really want that. Why? I guess if it aint broke don't fix it? I am thinking more of it is not broken but an upgrade could not hurt...ya know?
