Groan......

I'll be happy to fly down and give you a hand Rich!

I'm bringing my breeders in from the cold today. In a small way, I feel your pain Rich.

Just THINKING about having to deal with a new batch of 3,000+ babies makes my head hurt. Having to pop pain pills to keep going when I still have several hours of work to be done for the day to stay on schedule... I have to use reading glasses now so I can see the hemipenes when I pop the babies sexing them. Probably working on a real good case of carpal tunnel by opening and closing hundreds of deli cups every day. And my darn attention span..... uh, what was I saying?..... Oh yeah, heck I can certainly sex corn snakes well enough, but after I snap the lid shut, well hell, what WAS that one again?

So tell me again, when ARE those golden years when you get old? I hope I didn't miss them like I did my midlife crisis. Too late now for that crisis to take place because I don't intend to live to be 116 years old. It would be MY luck that someone will invent an immortality pill, but the only caveat would be that you stay at the age you are when you take it. Gee, thanks bunches....

Rich, you and I are the same age. I though I would give you some words of encouragement. Try to pump you up a little. Put a smile on your old worn out face.

But I can’t think of anything.

Yeah, I hear you.

Every day I have to ask myself, what's worse than growing old.......... And I would have to say, watching someone you love growing old.

I have noticed that for about the last 5 years or so, the hemipenes seem to be getting smaller and smaller, darn it! And for some reason, book and magazine publishers are making the print smaller, too. I just can't understand why they are doing this to me!

BTW, I have found that reading glasses can be bought in bulk at the flea market for $1 - $2 each. We have them scattered around EVERYWHERE! A new fact of life the past few years.

Just my $.02

There are lighted magnify tools. There are larger ones that clamp or this one:



Which hopefully would bring you those $$ after sexing & selling those snakes
