    Re: Acquired Over Your 1st Year?

    Bought my first which was my Normal girl and then a couple of months later bought my Albino boy. Year after that bought three more.

    Probably will buy one more girl and call it a day. I might also have one or two holdbacks once I start breeding so I'll probably end up with more. 8 is my max for sure.

    I got my first snake/reptile in 2006, Bud, and I still have him. It wasn't until about 5 years later, and 3 years ago, that I started thinking about getting another snake and got Cloud. After that I was hooked, and although I couldn't get any more at the time I've been hanging around on forums and such researching various animals since then. Then, last August I got my checkered garter Draco when I was offered a baby eastern garter by an e-friend. She's been raising him up a bit for me until he was on whole pinkies, and hopefully he'll be coming in soon. Whenever she can get together the supplies and ship him off. I don't think I'll be able to get anymore for awhile after that, though.

    I had 1 for a few years, then I got 1 more. I had the pair for roughly a decade before I got another.
