Red face snakes are addictive

does anyone find how addictive buying and keeping snakes is?? god i do! i havent kept reptiles in years and then i got an offer i couldnt refuse when some on was selling a four foot fiva nd a five foot viv, with all the equipment for 160 quid with a bearded dragon in each of them, then i sold one of the beardies coz she was a bit too much to handle, so i went and got a MBKS to put in the old beardies viv, the next day i saw two boas for sale in a 6 foot vivfor £200 so i went and bought them, then i knew someone who would sell me their royal in a three foot tank, so i payed 70 for her. then the same night (last night in fact) i went to irlam to pick up a prairie albino king for 70 quid with hatchling tank heat mat etc...

now i want more.....

luckily i cant afford any.....not til i get back from china anyway

I do firmly believe that if I had a spare room it would be my reptile room!

I have 4 now and that all I really have space for, but considering 18 months ago I had zero and my OH really disliked the very thought of snakes, I'm doing well.
