Well, I've always been into snakes, so I suppose my first snake was a Garter or Grass snake. I was fearless as a kid and knew the difference between all of the snakes, so when I knew what the snake was, I grabbed it, regardless of it biting me, hahahaha.
The first snake i bought was a normal BP, Simon, probably 11 months or so ago. Now I've got two more BPs, a king, and a few green snakes, and I'm sure that'll grow really quickly once I get another job Once you get one, it's so hard not to get another !
