Reading your comments, it sounds to me, that its not about your lack of keeping the animals well. But more, that you have lost the love of the hobby. If you have lost the love, move the animals on to somebody that is more keen. If your just being slack at caring for them, harden the f#*k up and give them what they need.
From your profile, it looks like you only have 6 snakes. I find it hard to believe that you cant find the time to look after them, and thats why i believe its probably more an issue of just loosing interest, if that makes sense. Looking after 6 snakes, really takes no time at all !!!
All that matters though in the long run, is that when we take on a pet, it is our responsibility to look after them. If we cant, they need to be transferred onto somebody that will. Peoples lives change, and moving a pet onto somebody else, is not a bad thing...
I know for myself, i have my ups and downs. Sometimes i wonder what the hell im doing, and sometimes i love this hobby more than i should!! I own approx 150 rainbows at last count, and it takes time to look after this many. I have another keeper than can always come and help me out if im having one of those weeks;(
If you need help with looking after them, or just you want to renew the interest. Find another keeper locally, and go have a few beers with them... 2 x snake guys beer always get the passion back.....
