well, its good you have admitted that you have a problem.

but if you want it , and can afford to give the proper care, and you have room and have done the research, it sounds to me like you have already made up your mind.


lots of help I am eh?

Ok, if you really want to get it and not feel guilty...

Then just send it to one of the others here!

The way I see it is you should take it iff:
You want it
You have the space
You have the money
You have the time

If you didn't want iut you would not have been eyeballing it and you would not be battling your emotions right now. Thoroughly consider it, if it works out in all aspects, take it. This is how I decide(usually).

This message board basically is Herps Anonymous, but we're not much help.

Really, though, do you NEED it? Will it take away from your current collection time wise? What about family time?

(personally, the above are weak arguments if you met the criteria the others outlined, I was just trying to help dissuade you [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] )

So you want another snake, huh? Think of how big it's going to get (but it's just a carpet). Think of what it will eat! (ummm I already have a freezer full of rats). Think of the vet bills! (my first aid kit is better stocked than my vet) Think of....

You had better just get the snake... My arguements are more for than against I think. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Sounds like your all set for a new snake Storm..How about a carpet python ? [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Sorry BUT RTB closed the "addiction" forum awhile back.. seems we weren't all that helpful to anyone who came to the meetings we had at all. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] People asked for help BUT for some reason even after our meetings, their collections continued to grow still. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] Sooo we had to change the venue of the meetings ! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Now we endorse the growth of personal collections basically. Sorry.. we tried [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
