Hang in there, Aubrey - it sounds like you're making a well considered decision.
I know how you feel, though. I parted with the last of my Okeetee corns in August (donated them to the raffle for ARK in Daytona) but it was with some amount of pain -- I've had at least one corn snake for the past 25 years, and I miss them. But when the cage space opened up so I could spread out my small thayeri colony, it was a great feeling.
Good luck with your Epicrates expansion. Please don't leave the forum entirely!
Tom
