my first reptile was a bunch of hatchling slider turtles, I was out fishing and interrupted the raccoon from making a large dinner out of the eggs. ( I snuck them home and set up a tank) I had no clue on what I was doing lol.. a couple days later I found a second clutch of eggs,. and added them to the tank. ( these guys were found as they were starting to dig for installing the new boat ramp at the pond.) out of like 50 eggs I think I had 28 hatch.( which was better odds than they have if I didn't take them.)
First pet reptiles was a all in a 5-6 month period. I went from the turtles to a iguana, and then to snakes. I had released most the turtles to a local pond and It snowballed from there. lol. I had by the end of that summer 5 snakes and a iguana( and one pissed off Mom lol ) she was scared of the turtles and even more so of the snakes. But I won and got to keep them lol. Like she said later on " I rather him play with lizards and snakes than out there messing in drugs and who know s what else"

A quarter-sized red eared slider from a Chinatown NY souvenir shop when I was 12.
I was on a class field trip. My mother really appreciated that, she's the biggest animal-hater ever. I still kept him healthy and happy entirely on my own for eight years before giving him away when I moved. I gave that animal all my lunch money.
