Years before the internet I found and ad in the paper for a free California Kingsnake from a guy downsizing his collection. I lived way out in the country but had a teacher that had alot of animals that helped me get started. He also bred mice and rats that he would sell to me for .25 to .50 cents. I'm the only one in my family with this addiction, they think I'm nuts.
I'm pretty sure I'm about to branch out from snakes and get me a Pacman.

What was your first?
Garter snakes I would catch as a small kid.

If those count I can't remember when I caught my first. My favorite to play with were always the Hognose.

My first reptile that I actually kept as a pet (not just found and released in the wild) was a box turtle when I was 5. Had him for about 10 years before allowing my nephew to have him when I went to high school.
My first snake was a garter snake that I kept for several years. I was, I think, 8 when I started working with snakes. :gj:
