I need to stay off the market part of morphmarket 
Everytime I get on there i find a new snake or gene that I want and my taste in genes is getting more expensive.
I recently got into tristripe and now waiting to get my puzzles this last time I was on there got me wanting to get into cryptic.

I have the same problem. Its difficalt to stick to a plan when something really nice comes up.
Yea, I have someone who does that for me, my wife 
But in seriousness she did get me to promise not to buy at night if I have had a few Rums.

Sorry I donāt have to get permission to buy more
@jesseleavitt that bit if fun brightened up my day
But to be serious for a bit, do your plans keep changing or do you expand them as you see new things?
My problem is that I keep buying more sand boas. Iāve bought at least a dozen in the last year. āBut itās so rare!ā āBut it enhances an existing project!ā āBut Iāve always wanted that gene!ā āBut I need more females!ā āBut itās a trade, which means itās free, right?ā

I expand on existing projects
Me too usually but I am not always that disciplined. Sometimes i see something new, fall in love and get into new projects. Then I have to get another snake to go with it.
Where will it end

My only saving grace at the moment is that Iām trying to find a house or apartment to rent, otherwise Iād have way more than I already do! Looking at you, ultramel project (and to a lesser extent colubrids).

Iām exactly the same, my husband is constantly trying me to stop looking at geckos or snakes
I have been passing them off as a possible investment to convince him, even though we are just starting out with the breeding side of things and we are likely to keep most of what we breed 
so investment is a huge exaggeration, hence possible
lucky for me, I do the money in the familyā¦I want to point out that the snakes are technically his anyway

Thatās my problem, she does the fiances

Donāt tell him 
Luckily the other half is usually showing me Cresties also. I mean heās always the one to bring home rescue reptiles for āusā to look after and find decent homes for.
Latest rehabilitation member is a 2 year old Albino Burmese whoās not eaten in over a year! Skinny, stuck shed and mites! He/she is going to be hard to let go as so friendly and adorable, but he/she is going to my friend so I know will be loved and cared for

We tell each other everything and tbh Iām pretty good with money and his answer is āas long as we can afford itā he knows I wonāt buy something we canāt afford to care forā¦ My eldest son gets the most annoyed as delivery is usually a reptile, or for the Reptiles and he wants to know why itās not for him. Doesnāt matter that we have a house overflowing with toys
Some people buy clothes for funā¦ Iād rather buy reptiles

Yeah I canāt keep a secret about anything. Even when wanting to surprise him with something I find it hardā¦
Haha thatās brilliant! Maybe the next reptile can be for him? My daughter loves everything here and says āIs be mine aswell?ā Shes 6 in June bless her. Itās always a yea Ofcourse! She loves her new Crestie too and had first cuddle today with him and loves how small and cute he is and his red spots! 
Love that, Iām the same too, weāve got these longer than a jumper or pair of trousers! My family think Iām mental at times I swear. Iām the only one with reptiles/amphibiansā¦ So maybe they just donāt get it

I just bought hubby an albino ball python as an early birthday present, birthday is June. And I couldnāt keep it quiet so told him before I actually put the deposit down lol
My 7 year old asks which ones are his, he occasionally holds them, takes pictures of them and brings sticks home for them, he just likes calling them his Geckoās. I said he can choose a baby reptile when we eventually breed some.
Iām trying to restrain myself this year as purchased 1 snake and 1 Crestie this year and far too many last year lol! I am Trying to look logically that space will run out (for the Cresties at least) and breeding is my goalā¦ If I buy too many, then I canāt breed the reptiles we do have!
Once the kids are older and have significantly less toys, I will be going all out again though if I make it that long lol
People without Reptiles donāt understand that owning 1 reptile just isnāt a possibility
