ive always wanted a snake but my dad is super afraid of them so he didnt let me have one. i got a few little green lizards at about 13-14 but they all died pretty quickly. i got my first snake in may of this year, a male normal bp who i now think is a female but i cant tell for sure lol. now ive got 4 bps in my closet, one coming in today and 2 coming in tmrw. getting at least one more on each of the 7th and 13th of next month at shows so this hobby definitely blew up real quick for me and im super addicted to it. im also looking into getting a RTB since i got to hold one for the first time yesterday and he was so.....awesome.....i decided i wanted one lol.
