    I got my first snake 5 years ago. It was a corn snake then I got my first ball python about a year and a half ago. That summer I bought 4 other ball pythons and have ended up with 23 going on 24 snakes and 2 geckos and 2 turtles.

    I got a Normal ball python on October 8th, then after the reptile expo yesterday, i now have 3, a normal, albino, and spider. What is it with people getting a Spider as the first morph? I love the fact that the gene is dominant and can be combined with a good amount of stuff. Also i love the calico type pigment loss on the under belly.

    Re: IM addicted!!!

    Well my first BP I got her about 7 months ago. She is growing fast and beautiful. My pride and joy

    Not even 2 months of having her, I bought a Lemon Pastel about her same age of Sloan Reptiles here in these forums. He was growing fast, But now he is off feed. He is beautiful too, although he has brown out some.

    At this point I was in love with Bee's and when I first saw a pic of a Axanthic Killer Bee, I was hooked on Axanthics. Hopefuly I will make one in the years down the road.

    A few months later I bought a yearling VPI axanthic male. He was severly under weight, but I felt in love with this morph, even if it was just an Axanthic that wasnt mixed with anything else yet. He also arrived almost frozen... But he is doing great now and hasnt missed a meal. He has grown alot! more than doubled his weight in only some months.

    Last week I got my first spider, my other favorite morph! I waited patiently to find the perfect spider for me. I bought her Of Mike Cavanaugh here in the forums.

    Thats all the BPs I realy wanted and needed for the Axanthic Killer Bee. The years down the road will be fun!

    Im thinking of getting also a Fire and a High Gold Normal to clean up the morphs, but Im not sure about that at this point
