Poll: How did you get your snake?

I was just wondering how people get their snake/s, so I made this poll.

I voted that someone gave them to me as both my corns are rescues.:)

I'm not sure how to vote. Three of the options apply to me. I guess I'll just vote for my majority.

1 from the pet store and 21 from breeders.

Since ALL of the options apply to me, I assumed you meant how did you get your first snake. Was I right????

I live less than 2 hours from NERD....it was a no-brainer for me to go there :carrot:
it was my first foray into herp keeping, so I wanted to make sure I got a healthy, well-started animal *and* great customer service.

I got that timesfiftymillion :D

Got all mine from a breeder that owns his own pet store, lol. So I guess from a pet store but all mine came from his home breedings and the money just changed hands in the store. Ponderous. :rolleye2:

I got my BP as a trade from a reptile store owner I trust. I traded my just-couldn't-tame Beardie for her. My corn snake I got at a show from a breeder. :)

I don't have any Colubrids, but I bought my first BP from NERD--their facility's near where I go to school! It was definitely the right choice!

I got 3 of mine from a pet store, 8 from a private sale and 9 from a breeder.
