1) I've been keeping snakes for a year now (time flys) and it started with my first ever BP (had a king when I was younger) that I got from Petco. Still have her and she's a lovely reduced normal. From there I got a corn, another king (had a Flordia, now have a California), then got into boas and more balls. So a year later I now have 10 snakes
2) I love my collection: I wanted to expand out and work with different species besides just balls and hope to add a pit (a bullsnake, I love the snows!) to the collection as well as get into bloods and angolans. I want more experience with different species but also to get into breeding balls down the road when I gain more experience. I know I know a TON more than when I owned my first king back when I was younger and hope to continue to learn and grow as a herp owner. I hope to open my own exotic pet store eventually as well.
