Got my first ball in May of 2010, he was a Pastel hatchling. He was more of an impulse buy but he was beautiful. I then picked up a female pastel and a spider. Traded the female pastel for a female cinny. Bought 2 female normals, a hatchling and a full grown female. Like an idiot I traded the pastel male, cinny female and I forgot what else for a beautiful male Lesser that unfortunately died. I sold off both normals. Then I started my collection from the ground up again. Since I didn't have money to splurge, I'd buy a snake here, buy another there, and then trade them for somethign better.
And today my collection sits like my sig states. A bunch of what I've traded, I wish I still had. And a lot of what I had would have been more valuable to me now, than what I've currently got, but I'm happy with what I've got and and becoming more patient when it comes to acquiring new snakes. No more impulse trading or buying lol.
I can honestly say that I know what I know today thanks to this site and every day I continue to learn more.
