Well as mentioned on here: Resistance is futile

I thought my resistance was stronger, but I'm now one step closer to buying a third snake - I ordered two new vivs today
Yes you read correctly, I said TWO vivs
This does not mean I will get a fourth snake, just bought a VX24 and LX36, thinking new snake in VX24 viv and LX36 will be used for its next viv or for one of my existing corns when they are bigger!
Was feeling sorry for myself, sat with tooth ache, having lost half a molar on Sat eve and no dentist appointment until Friday morn.
Glad I don't loose teeth on a regular basis

Nice one! I propose you just buy several more vivs and stack 'em all on top of each other so you can have millions of snakes

Good idea, just one limiting factor, my house is only very small and no room for lots of vivs.
I will have to stack the ones I need for my two corns along with the new one - not that I have got it yet.
I like vivs so wouldn't consider going down the RUB route.
Now I can have a great time looking for lots of stuff to decorate the viv.

I must admit I didn't believe people how addictive snakes are, but if I had the space I would have many more.

Not addictive when you figure out food costs and how long it takes to clean out vivs properly...

I agree whole heartedly, I am going to stop at three, I need to know I can afford to care for them to a high standard and costs of possible vet visits.
Mind you I do think they are cheaper to feed than my horse.
