    Sheds used in schools.

    This is a 1 week supply of sheds from my radixes. I keep and bag the complete ones. Since I teach in most of the schools in our county I donate them to the science departments. Great way to make good use of them.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Steve I hope you don't mind me asking this but What do you do with your collection. Is it a breeding project? A wholesale project? An education project? Just a hobby? How do you deal with and stay motivated to care for that many snakes without going broke or burning out? Whatever it is I admire your dedication and the intense care you seem to give each individual animal.

    I have a special box for them ... wet and broken sheds are discarded ... I have plans involving my basses, the sheds and varnish

    Yes to all. My breeding project is not specific. I'm not trying to get a specific morph and anything like that. All that I have are natural occurrences.
    I guess you could say it's a wholesale project. I won't charge for mine(shipping not included). Just want them to go to caring people.

    They do make me smarter or at least more aware of them and how our lives are intertwined. They do educate me, everyday.

    Not sure hobbies the best word but it will work.(addiction, maybe)

    Motivation has never been a problem for me. It boils down to the fact, their survival is in my hands. If I don't do it right they suffer. That in itself is motovation enough.

    With 5 children, the way I care for my snakes will teach my kids responsibilty, compassion, dedication, love. And people say it's just a Garter Snake. Not hardly.
    My bills get paid. My kids eat and have clothes. We are provided for everyday
    Good questions, Thomas.

    Basses ? I hope this isn't one of those questions that makes me look more stupid than I really am. It's early in the morning, here.
