I've been stalking this forum for a while know (that "somebody's watching me" feeling you got when you were looking at a post? Yeah, that was me) and have decided it's about to let myself be known :)
I'm a 21 Female who lives in Texas. I'd never owned any type of reptile until last Feb when I got my first BP (a .1 Pinstripe named Poptart) from a reptile show. I sold her last July to a friend because I decided it was just not a good time for me to own a reptile. Unfortunately, that same friend kept tempting me with pictures of snakes he found for sale. Less than a month ago he sent me a picture of a lesser female for sale, and I caved.
I currently live in dorm housing, and we are not allowed anything but fish. Which I use as a decoy ;) They just assume that tub under my tank is for aquarium supplies *sneaky*. I'm hoping to be able to move out around March/April, in which time I'll probably get a small rack and start expanding my collection :) I've become quite addicted to BPs as of late, but I do hope to open my home to a Bearded Dragon as soon as I'm able.
I do fear I'm heading down a road to heartache. I've played with the idea of breeding BPs as a small hobby, just to see what I can create. But I've recently realized... I'm in love with recessives :C I like a lot of the Dom/Co-Doms mixtures, but the recessives are just more appealing to me. My all time favs are: Albino, Clown, Pied, and Rios(which I doubt I'll get one of these anytime soon). And even though they are awesome in their own right, I'm infatuatied with them in mixtures! My goal is to maybe one day create Albino Clowns, Albino Pieds, and Pied Clowns. Maybe one day an Albino Clown Pied? Can a trip recess even be done? Is anyone working on this?
I seem to be babbling...
I only own one BP right now, but I'm hoping to pick up an Albino or Recessive hets at the Arlington, Tx NARBC in Feb. :)
