more repect for breeders ...

[tsst]

wow I never gave much thought into what breeders do. I have a friend that has a small breeder collection of leo geckos. Small as in 78 geckos and 2 incubators of eggs and insect colonies. Some in racks, some in vivs. He went on vaca so he ask if I would take care of them for a week. Last night was first night, wow took me 2 hours non-stop with my son helping. You folks that have large collections have much more deserved respect from me. I am not ready for two hours daily so I will keep to just a few.

How'd you like to be Rich with 4000 eggs/hatchlings??? I can't even imagine!!

Two hours a day....I wish!

Yep and that was just 78 geckos. Can't imagine what large breeders have to do. It must be more than a full time job for big breeders. You got my repect for sure. I will help him for the week but that will be my extent of being a breeder.

I could only imagine that your friend needed a vacation with all of that!

I would LOVE to spend 2 hours a day cleaning my animals. Unfortunatley it only takes me about 20 mins to spot clean and change 17 waterbowls.

I love spending 2 hours with the animals just not so much 2 hours of cleaning cages.:shrugs:

I enjoy cleaning more than handling... is that strange?

I'll trade you, you clean for mine and I'll handle yours.

Try 100+ breeders and holdback colubrids. And that aint big at all.
