Good poll idea!
The desire to get more is probably the most CONSISTENT challenge!
But at the moment, I have to deal with reptile mites -- and that's a really major challenge!! 
All the other stuff listed is part of the enjoyment of keeping for me!

The worst part is trying not to get MORE herps....I'm such a 12 step failure! 
Then comes feeding, then shedding, then finding more ROOM to put tanks and cages!!

I find it hard work sometimes keeping on top of everyone, but I enjoy it, so its all good fun for me, I just love looking after my babies, I would be lost now if I didnt have them, don't know what I did with my time before I started keeping them.
