Murphy is my Sancho :/
I haven't been around much lately, and as some of you know have actually put most of my collection up for sale.
When I look at them on paper(computer) it is easy to say "okay I can part with that" but I am having a hard time actually doing it. Every time I open a tub to feed, water, or clean I see a little face I know and have come to love. Each one has their own special place in my heart. The one that I wouldn't eat for ages, the one that regurged every other meal for months, the one that has gone from a nasty little snot to a real sweetie and vica versa, how gorgeous the coloring is coming in on that one, etc. Absolutely no one in my 'real' life understands this.
I have only been trying to sell them locally both because I am not certified to ship and I am spread so thin it is hard to find time to carry out transactions. I know I need to do it in order to make other things going on in my life work out, but I am having a very hard time with it. I know others have gone through this, how did you make it happen?
To top it all off, I had my first cornsnake death. A little het hypo that was getting a wonderful silver ground color(Dio for those of you who remember him). I have absolutely no clue why. I went to feed him and he was dead. Temps have been good, eating fine, shedding fine, just gone. Even though he was one on my llist to sell, I was heartbroken.
I don't really have a point with this post. I just needed to share with someone who would understand "just snakes".
