Hi Amanda,
It is true, I did get out.
I was maintaining a collection of 300 plus snakes and on top of that mice and rats. It just got to be way to much to handle by myself. It took all my time and time away from my family and other things I used to enjoy doing.
I was also getting to the point of aggravation, so before I started to hate something that I loved so much, I decided to take a much needed break.
However, I was also starting to miss the critters alot. I was able to get back a handful of my snakes, which most were new projects that I started before I got out, so I'm back in action maintianing a low scale ( 35 ), but high end collection again.
The work load is much easier now. Not so time consuming and I have time to do other things. I'm back to where I was 10 years ago when I started breeding, happy and enjoying something I love so much, breeding the best species in the world, CORN SNAKES !!!
BTW, thanks for the compliment on the Caramel.
Walter
