Default reps vs other hobbies

obviously we all share the same hobby of reptiles but does anyone have any other big hobbies? mine is cars, got my sierra 24v cosworth that costs me shitloads and also a load of my time but i think i manage to keep a decent balance between my snakes and my cars. just means i cant afford some of the more expensive snakes i like.
how does everyone balance their other hobbies and reps? like descisions for me at moment are save up for a new car or new snakes and dunno what i'd like more

Hobby = an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation:

Reptile keeping should therefore be defined as a hobby for the majority of people here

My only other hobby is gaming.

photography for me - so it goes really well with the reptiles. Not to mention if I'm lucky it can make me the odd bit of extra money to cover a new gecko or two.

My work - Website Design, something I really enjoy.

Used to be heavily involved in Magic / Entertainment.

Reptiles are the main thing though!

Horses for me 6 of the little darlings!!!(most of which are in my bad books today lol) I balance these with the snakes by having them all on my own land (snakes in house obviously). Could never do it if I had to travel to the horses, not enough hours in the day.
