Yeah man... Im kind of confused. The electric bill wont go up that much for a few heat lamps. Also, why get rid of all your herps, only to buy more?

Doesnt get my stamp of approval

Yes....why did you get rid of some, and get some more? It just doesn't click.
 
electric bill? I would think heating the fish tank, not reptiles, would be more of the primary cause.
Also lost on how you stated the torts were being neglected, how the 3 beards now wont.
 
the beardeds may be more entertaining for him,im sure he will miss the torts but they probably would like more roaming space somewhere and the beardeds ,well,his inclosures looked nicely set up and clean like he knows what hes doing.Dont take everything he said so seriuose,he may have just realy wanted a change.I know what you guys are saying,but he does care for his animals it seems.Did he just narrow it down to one cage with beards now?I think he just need a change and knew the torts may like more room.Who knows.

Correct the Leopard has gone tyo a man who has 8 fo them in a 12x12 pen thats loads better, and i just have a bearded cage and they are much more entertaining than 2 snakes and some tortioses and they are my dads pets really.
 
Well Bruce I saw this coming when you started buying loads of reps on impulse... just hope you learned your lesson
 
the only thing with this is if you know ppl well in the hobby and alot of ppl interested in herps,theirs always somebody that wants what you have .Or,you may trade herps with someone and such.As long as when you get one,you keep in mind that if you decide you dont want it someday,nobody else may either.And getting herps just knowing that oh well,i can always take them to a rescue center dosnt cut it.They have enough problems.Someone on here is doing that with a ali snapper and me,well its taking me forever to decide if my future looks good to adopt this little cali desert tort.Yes though,impulse buying on animals is much more serious than buying that material item,lol.So watch out,it dosnt always work out so good.
 
It's always hard when you reach that bursting point :)

It sounds like you have no trouble finding new homes, but it does seem a bit odd that you picked up MORE herps while trying to downsize!

I worked a summer at an exotic pet store as the "saltwater guy" and I always hated it when the herp guy wouldn't show up. I would rather clean 10 aquariums than the dang iguana habitat! I guess what I am trying to say is fish are a lot easier to keep than reptiles (except for my Snapping Turtle, he gets treated like a four-legged monster fish).



Can't wait to hear what you bring home next!
