Why are you in the reptile hobby?

I do it mainly for my kid. It gives us some father and son time. Plus the happiness on his face when he can get his favorite boy out https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3efc65f52d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e2ac8e62d.jpg

My daughter wanted a snake so we got a king snake (over my strenuous objections).

The little bugger was pretty cool so we got a ball python next. Well we meant to get one but came home with two.

Then we got more ball pythons, and a boa, and a milk snake, and a Brazilian rainbow boa...

And so on, and so on, and so on!

Because I wanted to make my childhood dream of owning a snake come true, than it got out of hand from there. :rolleyes:

Haha. I know how that is. I just bought our 5th ball python a couple days ago.

I already see that happening with us. I'm already trying to buy a 6th ball python [emoji38]

I wanted a snake since I was 6-7 years old, but my parents hate snakes and I was too young to research or know any better anyway. Then I've wanted a ball python since I was 12, and then did more research before moving out after graduating college, so I finally got one for myself!

Then I think I got my second ball python only two months after that, and my dumeril's boa about 3 months after THAT, after realizing how low-maintenance these animals are. And then it just kept my interest and kept going! LOL

I'm mostly just a collector of diverse species, but I've tried breeding one of my male ball pythons a couple years ago with a female that didn't ovulate... And then I'm pairing him again this year with two females. and hoping to find a nice male for my tanimbar scrub python female too to make more babies!

Cute kid! He looks like my youngest. Is he 9...10? Mine will be 10 in 2 weeks.

Nice. I'd like to learn the breeding side.
