My first was a corn snake that only made it about two weeks. A few months later I got my normal male that has been with me for over 8 years now and is almost 4.5 feet long. These pics were taken this spring: http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/a...-Copy-Copy.jpg
He is by far my favorite snake and I will never get rid of him.
That blushing on a Wild Type REALLY makes them shine in my eyes. With all the crazy morphs available, I don't think "normals" always get the respect they deserve.

Wish I could say that I still had my first. He was a leopard gecko that I got from (unfortunately, didn't know better at the time) PetSmart, and came to me with health problems I was not prepared to deal with as a first-time keeper. Poor little guy didn't make it very long, I felt like I had failed, even though the vet told me it really wasn't my fault, and it took me quite a while before I was ready to try again. I still look back on that experience with sadness and regret, but thankfully the animals I've gotten since have done quite well for me; the "try again" leo I eventually got is going on 8 or 9 years old now, and hopefully she'll be with me for many more years of giving me inquisitive and/or disapproving looks. :)
Oh, and as for pics, that's her on my hand in my avatar pic. (The one that's still with me, not the unlucky first)
