How old were you?

I'd have to say somewhere around 8 or 9 years old for me. Had two Jackson Chameleons that I loved to death. They were definitely what piqued my interest in reptiles. But eventually I developed a love for snakes even though I never saw one with my own eyes until much later on (They are illegal in Hawaii). Now that I'm not in Hawaii anymore, I've had my current normal BP since August.

I was three years old when I caught my first snake: Sammy the Garter Snake. Had him for seven years. :)

King snake, daughter was 7, I was 43.

I was 12 and it was a Ball python :D

Got my normal Ball, Faye, about two years ago and somehow ended up with three more. I was 24 at the time. One of the best decision I've ever made.

I walked in my local retile store with my girlfriend and told the owner that I needed a commitment in my life and ended up getting my first Ball. ;) My gf still gives me crap for what i said. Lol.

I got a snake in 2002 when I was around seven years old. She was just some kind of Albino Corn, nothing fancy, but she only lived about a year because she ate her own tail during the night and died by morning. <:/
Around the same time, my dad randomly brought home my first BP! That one worked out a lot better and I've still got that girl to this very day.

First wild caught was probably when I was 3 or 4, eastern painted turtle. First that I actually bought was an albino burmese when I was 20 or so. 39 now, and still getting more. And occasionally catching one for a photo.
