How did your collection start?

I started with my male normal as just a pet, and then I found the wonderful art of breeding and worked my way to a pastel, then a spider, clown, and so on.

I started out afraid of snakes to the point where id lose consciousnes when I saw one XDD
My fiance had an aggressive sickly male normal BP, and after watching it for a few months I decided to hold it, realized it wasnt o bad and he died shortly therafter. I wanted to get over my fear of snakes, so I went to the pet store and got my little female normal Pakul. a year later I fel in love with another female petstore normal that I named raine. I started planning to breed balls and about six months ago I got my male spider Gaara. Around when I got Gaara I decided to start researching other types of pythons, and was really intregued by burms. I was scanning craigslist one day and found my little Laila, a normal female burm for $60 with a 20 gallon tank included. Great deal. Now ive got my next 5 years of breeding plans planned out, and its simply a matter of aquiring the snakes ^^

Started out with an adult male Blood Red corn snake from a local ad.

Then I got a hatchling male Mojave ball python at my first reptile expo from Regius Pythons, a local breeder.

After that I traded the Mojave and some cash for a hatchling Albino female and a hatchling Yellowbelly male.

Then I bought a hatchilng Spider female from TSK, also a local breeder.

Those were the beginnings of my collection.

2 normal males (Zuni, Monty) where given to us as rescues, so I started doing my research and fell in love with pieds.

Then I bought Mariah, a female pastel at an expo.

Then I rescued an eight year old normal girl, Sara.

Then I bought a beautiful YB boy, Loki.

Then a proven get pied girl (Taki), then a double het albino pied boy (Maxi), Then an pin girl (Ivy) and a honeybee boy (Voldo).

Then..... Still dreaming

Knowing next to nothing about snakes, I got a rescue GTP. Had a lot to learn, but she turned out pretty cool.

(Before that all the snakes were just pets with no plans to breed)

My normal girl was first, then my hog island girl. Pied boy, red tail boa, blood python, pastel male. :D

I only have two snakes right now, but I have some big plans! MY first snake was my male pastel BP, and I got my hognose a few months later. Now, I just got my Cb70 rack, and there are two empty tubs that just seem so lonely:D:D Can't wait to fill them with some females so that I can get breeding!

I started with a normal girl. Then I discovered morphs! After that it went spider female, mojave male, pastel male, lesser female and lemonblast male............next comes PIED!
