I could be forced to sell animals in an emergency, but I agree with you, the animals I buy are generaly for life.

Also, there are animals I buy that grow on me more than others, and then regardless of being a common snake or an expensive morph, they might become priceless for me.

For instance I have a ball python that has been with me since she was a baby, and she's now 4 yo. I don't have any intentions of breeding her, but I'll probably never sell her, unless something serious in my life takes place (a move overseas for instance).

So, the 13 snakes I have at the moment are not for sale, and I'll looking for a few more to complete the collection

I got into reptiles through accident when I inherited a beardy from a nephew who got bored after having him for 3 months, when I started going to reptile shops I found snakes and realised that is what I really like...I only have 3 boas and the rough greens but I would never sell them....I did sell the beardies, i didn't wantto but I had to make more room as the OH does not like the snakes and we had to compromise........as the snakes are what I have a real passion for the beardies had to go ...but I know they went to a good, hopefully forever home.
The snakes are not just a hobby, they are my pets and as such they get treated the same as the dogs and cat, although they don't go for walks obviously
