haha same here about the number of snakes. My dad helped me talk my mom into letting me get my first ball python, and after a little over 3 years, i finally got my first! i bought my first, adopted my second, bought my third, and my fourth was not planned but i still brought one home from the reptile showShe is getting used to the fact that i am going to breed a couple of them when my females grow up, but i'm not sure how many more she will put up with. haha!
