What was your first snake?

My first snake was a garter snake.

Mine was the green tree python in my avatar

My dad found a worm snake at work and brought it home for me. I was in elementary school. I brought it to school for show and tell and during lunch a little boy took the snake and let it go outside because he thought I wasn't feeding it. So he ended up giving me a parakeet with cage to say he was sorry. I'd rather have had the snake. I am just not a bird person.

Got him in November 09 and now he is 800 or so grams

Caught a garter snake when I was three. :cool:

I've always wanted a snake since I was like 8 years old. However I was never allowed to have one. I just recently purchased a normal ball python 2 months ago, and just last night picked up a Dumeril's Boa. Couldn't be happier. Both snakes are really tame, and are great!

My first was an amel corn snake, I got her when I was 8 (16 years ago). Amels are very common now (and still kind of were back then) but I thought that having a pink snake was just the coolest darn thing in the world back then, and STILL consider amel corns to be one of the prettiest snakes ever produced by herpetoculture.

She passed away just before I went to college.

my first was a gopher snake that i had rescued from a bunch of idiots at work then i kept him/her for a couple days only to release it couple days later and buy my normal bp from petsmart almost $100 later i realized i could have gotten exact same one for cheaper but i wouldnt do it different if i had to i love my $100 normal girl she is awesome
