Understand, we all do that, grab at straws, rationalize, paradigns, etc. Thats what humans do.
Also, I am not falling for that I don't have the money thing. Thats a really poor straw. You do not have to do all at once. In fact, that would be totally the wrong way to do something. Start with one cage, keep changing it around to express different behaviors. No one cage, that I know of, can express a wide varity hehaviors. One cage, how expensive is that? How much do you make a month, whats your house payment, you see, you have enough to make payments of,$$$$$$$$$, you sir could be driving this fine american cage. hahahahahahahahahaha
You do understand, snakes do not need you, not at all. Except when you put them in a box, then you have to do lots of stuff. But if you were smart, you would share(delegate)responsibility, like any good supervisor. Only with the snakes, you can delegate it to them. They already are expert of choosing temps(your not) they are expert at knowing when to breed(your not, your wife said so), Heck, they are expert at being snakes. All they need from you is to replace what you took away when you put them in captivity, their choices. You took it away, so give some back and make it easy on yourself.
It seems to me, you are thinking other ways are harder, nope, your way is the hardest. Its so because you took away all your help and are doing it yourself. You need help and they are in boxes waiting to help you. So use cages that allow them to help you.
Consider, each and every day of a wild snakes life is all about doing things, making choices, completing tasks. Kinda like your days(only different tasks) They decide where to go today, what temps, should I feed, breed, stay down, dang its windy, cloudy, sunny, dry, wet, etc. Its to hot, to cool, to cold, just right, preys plentiful, not plentiful, on and on. They do this each and every day, all without you. So I ask, why do you think you have to do everything. Remember, they have been doing it for thousands of years. In other words sir, what the heck are you thinking. Heck they deal with all manner of virus and bacteria and parasites and skunks(I've been squirted far to many times) They climb trees, rocks, bushes, etc, they go in crevices, holes, etc etc, they know when to do those things in all seasons, they know not to build their buildings below sea level(hmmmmmmmmmm people could learn from them) Or to not make permanent homes in the bottom of a dry wash, because the word dry, is not always present, again people could learn from that. Get the picture. They are expert at being them, they only need a little tiny bit of help from you, SO WHY ARE YOU DOING EVERYTHING. hahahahahahahahahahahaha more to think about hey? FR
