    How did your collection start?

    So it seems like most people started their collection with a normal. Just out of curiosity (sorry if this has been done before) what were the next couple snakes that you bought after your first? Include your first and then the next few after that.

    First snake was our anery motley corn, then we got a spider and our mojave ball. Spider wouldn't eat so we traded back for the pinstripe. Later got the bumblebee. All the rest were a package deal from someone getting out of the hobby except the albino and albino het spider, which were recently won in an auction from and purchased from Joe Ellis respectively.

    Aaaand yep. That's the whole story

    Re: How did your collection start?

    I don't nor will I ever have a collection, but out of my pets, my ball python was the first. Then a little over a year later I got my Borneo. After that I ended up with a few others here and there, but I ended up rehoming them with a friend. The boas came further down the road because the parentals were not so excited about having boa constrictors in their house.

    The baby of the family, Ebonee, now 2 years old.

    Started out with my Leo, Gaia, who made me fall in love with Geckos. Recently added my baby BP and I'm going to be adding a baby Crestie soon as well. Then I'm hoping to add one or two more Balls and I think that'll be it for me for snakes!! Geckos are my love.

    0.2.0 Leopard Geckos- Gaia and Prim, 0.0.1 African Fat-tailed Gecko- Latte
    RIP Theia
