Oh wow...he has never been in the snake room!!! crazy

My husband loves the snakes but sometimes takes over not really knowing the right thing. I need to make him go on here a little more. ;) But know he says..."We are a BP family"...no other reptiles....just BP's). Gotta break him of that as I want a Panther Chamelion and my son wants an iguana and a beardie....

And I remember when Deborah had about 10 ball pythons! LOL

I was also - no other reptiles, just BP's. Then came the cresties, and the leos, and the california kings and just recently the black milks! I quit counting snakes once I hit 50 of them.

So far it hasn't stopped for me. I'm about four months into the addiction and have three bp's and I'm working on a deal right now to buy four more! I can't wait to get it finished I'm so excited!!

As long as i can properly house and feed them, i will never stop getting more!

nope never stops, I bought my house last year, now i got the whole reptile room and rodents in the basement thing going. 15 snakes total in the house and 10 bearded dragons.... and another snake is going to be here friday

Nah, doesn't really stop... It's slowing down a little for me. I'm a financial freak and when you look at the cost to feed your colletion frozen rats for a year it's an eye opener.


I will give you one word of advice. Don't get caught up in wanting more, and quickly buying snakes. Save your money and buy quality snakes. I would rather have two high quality snakes than ten average ones.

It doesn't seem to me like its going to stop. I currently have 3 snakes and I am always on the look out for more. I just got my first about 5 mnths ago.

To be honest, I thought it stopped when I was younger. I grew up on a farm in the middle of no where in Idaho. I would go out as a kid and catch snakes of all sorts (yes, even some hots. dumb looking back, but I was pretty confident about my snake handling skills at the time. haha) At any given time, I had probably about 10+ different snakes in my bedroom. Then when I hit junior high/highschool age we moved, and I spent my time chasing girls instead.

Recently a friend of mine had a RTB he couldn't take care of anymore (he really didn't do a good job to begin with.. :( ) so I took it off his hands. And the addiction came back full force. :) I have since setup a little snake rack, and have added to the collection. I'm about to move in the next few days, and plan on really diving in once I am settled in the new location! cant wait!
