Reflection

After 4 years of trying, I finally produced a litter of Boas!

I've produced Hoggies, Indigos and Cresties, but my main objective has eluded me until now. Not only did the current litter turn out to be a personally desirable litter, hopefully, so will the two possible litters dues in a month or so. It's like winning the lotto! My decision to rethink my program has paid off and showed me, once again, to follow my gut and put pride, family and finances second.

This was always an investment in quality of life. A Living Investment if you will.

Thanks for listening

Kenny

Congrats, its fun. Question, how are your kids hybrids, and with what other species?

My son is 15 going into the 12th with a 4.3 GPA - Played football for the last 2 years for his school. Is he happy? Happy as anyone can be with that kind of schedule to maintain.

My daughter is 14 that just got a D in history. Time for Dad to step in with the ruler. Is she happy? Not anymore lol

The last is my little herper at 3. She is losing her way with her manners and that is largely due to my "changes". That's going to be the real challenge.

They are a crossed with German, Dutch, French, Italian, Native American, Danish and Japanese from the father's side and 100% American Japanese from the mother's side.

Intra-specific Hybrids if you will.

We are all 100% American!

Indigos, that must be interesting!

I looked at it similarly. It's kind of like playing the lottery.
You are gauranteed winning numbers but the ROI is always rapidly
declining.

It's a fun hobby that's for sure. It pays for itself. It keeps
me out of trouble which like that American Express slogan, is
truely 'Priceless'.

if you like cleaning watery feces twice a week per animal, I strongly suggest you get a few lol

They are awesome snakes if you have the time.

My time has been cut dramatically! I even considering taking the summer off from work to maintain this.

Day by day....all I know is I GOT BABIES!!!!!!

Thanks,
