when you know you want a pet and you see a addorable little such and such that you really love and want...do you find it hard to keep from buying it and setting up properly and make sure you give him a good going over? It killed me waiting for my Leo but I knew it was the right thing to do but boy when I saw him was I ever excited and I didn't have time to check him out at all because he was just an addorable little ball of affection and I couldn't contain myself from bringing him home lol

Yes, I do find it hard But I've taught myself to resist. Otherwise my house would be more of a zoo than it is already, and I'd most likely be minus one husband.

I just gave up resisting lmao

My husband is fantastic most of the time about my herp addiction and he fully inderstands my need to help animals that are not getting the full love and care they deserve.

I must admit though that I am now cutting down a lot n my collection

I have a hard time resisting as well!! But with my current living conditions, I have cut back my collection as well (I feel your pain Britt). If a creature needs my help thats a different story, lol. There are several more snakes and lizards I want...but I guess that will be in due time

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

Oh wow it is killing me not getting more animals but I just dont have the money or space right now. but as soon as I do there is going to be a huge addition to the family

Ok guys this is scary… my husband usually just tolerated the herps, will handle them when asks, but he has decided that he wants to make an outdoor enclosure for turtle, with a pond and the whole nine yards. I’ve had to info on the web about outdoor enclosures. So maybe the addiction is grown to other member of the family. That would be 3 out of 5. Help!

my friend... you have NO IDEA how hard.

Haha, you saw my Uro post... I haven't even gotten my corn yet and I'm already planning on what's to come.
I have an excuse though.. I got into the reptile thing late.... I'm compensating for lost time!!

I'm actually pretty good about only buying herps on a planned basis, even with my Bearded Dragons both of which were planned purchases and the nile monitor although I may be in over my head enclosure wise for him ... he's gonna have a nice , unlplanned enclosure....
