In danger of becoming a collector?

[Lolo76]

Anyhow, is this pretty much the same way that you all started your collections?

Yep. I just got my first BP as a pet, and never imagined having a whole collection - let alone breeding. But they are super easy to care for, fun to interact with, and come in such a wide array of colors and patterns... so understandably, some of us become quickly addicted!

How long did it take you before you decided to invest a good chunk of cash in a morph?

I got my second BP and first morph, a baby male pastel, about 3 months after the first snake... but he only cost $125, so it was hardly a "chunk" of cash. To date (about a year & a half of keeping them) the most I've spent was $240 + shipping on a mojave, but I am currently paying off a $500 girl - hope to have her by the end of summer. Unfortunately or luckily, depending on how you look at it, that's about as much as I can spend at this time. If I were loaded, you can bet I'd already have some high-end morphs in my collection!
