It definitely happened to me. I had one, then got a rescue a couple months later, then got another, and now I have a baby Dumeril coming to me next week and I'm ALREADY scouting out my next purchase. (Honduran Milk Snake). lol. My fiance is beginning to think I have too many...but that's just silly. If anyone ever tries to tell me it's them or the snakes...I'll pick the snakes.
