I have to say meeting my husband and him finding out I was cool with reptiles started our addiction. He had reptiles before we met and liked to tell me stories about them. One day I said it'd be cool to go to a local reptile show. I brought home my first corn snake. Soon I had up to 10 corn snakes. Then I started looking at ball pythons. Next came the bearded dragons and crested geckos. And that was just for me. :O Husband loved uromastyxs so he started getting some of them plus a sulcata tortoise. Add in a couple tokay geckos, gargoyle geckos, chameleons, and breeding rats and asfs to feed all of them. Lets just say we went a little over board. :D Some changes in our lives made the decision for us to reduce our collection to what we have now. Which is nothing compared to what it was. But with our latest bp and getting back on this forum hopefully we won't go over board again. Here is to hoping. :rolleyes:
