Do we all have addictive personalities?

Before getting a new pet, I always consider their lifespan, my plan for that period of time, and how I will handle emergencies. I tend to hold off for at least a year before getting a new animal.

I suppose you could say I'm not very whimsical :P

I agree with holding off on getting a new "kind" of animal for a year to be sure I research properly but once I know what I am doing its hard to keep me from getting that one more I just gotta have. Especially when they are so cheap to feed like snakes lol!

Addictive, moi? No, I'm fairly sure I'll be able to stop at 30 snakes......

Sure, like I stopped at one cat, or one kid, or one snake lol!

(I have 3 cats, 3 kids and 7 snakes)

My name is Makis and I'm addicted to corns...

Yeah, kind of like the soothing feeling of five or six shots when you're alone!

I mean..

I browse FaunaClassifieds, craigslist, and here for snakes daily.

I have no intentions of buying any more corns yet.

What is wrong with me D:

No

I don't wait that long because I think it's "right" or anything, I'm just an obsessive planner. I may get another corn snake within the next couple of years, but likely not until at least next spring. Were I a home owner with cash to throw around, I might be less restrictive with myself. Probably not by much, though.

You and me both lol but I usually email people about snakes I am interested in, and I really like getting new additions
