Deff a novice hobbyist here! I only have the one BP...I've had him for 4 years now. But I've been a lover of all reptiles since....birth I guess. The first stuffed animal I ever picked out at the store when I was 2 years old was a dinosaur! I was always chasing lizards and frogs/toads as a child and when I turned 21 I got my BP. I am currently saving to get an iguana and a sphinx cat. (ok, the sphinx isnt a reptile, but ya know, deff not your typical house cat!)
