I've kept a variety of reptiles since I was a kid and don't remember what I got first or really why I loved them, so I consider my re-entry into the reptile world a few years ago as my "start". I got my female BP, Ella, from a reptile rescue almost 4 years ago because I just wanted one for a pet (had happy memories of my snakes and lizards as a kid, lol)....

A year later, my hubby having fallen head over heals for Ella, I decided I wanted a larger snake so I went to a reptile expo with no firm plans on what to get and came home with my female Colombian hypo boa, Peaches.

That fall (about 5 months later), I decided I reeeally wanted a GTP and after having a super conversation with a terrific breeder in Atlanta, I purchased Hunter. He was the first reptile I've had shipped.

About 9 months after Peaches, I found a perfect future mate for her from the same breeder I got her from and brought home Jasper, another Colombian hypo boa.

2 months after that, again from the same breeder (he knows "Sucker" when he sees one, lol....), I found a gorgeous Argentine boa male I just had to have and Mojo came home with us.

Then I found Humphrey (again at our local rept expo - maybe I should stop going there....), a gorgeous male Leachianus Gecko, and decided to take the plunge into geckos much sooner than anticipated. But sometimes you have to accept those opportunities when they present themselves.

So now that I've discovered the amazing world of geckos, and now that my hubby has claimed Humphrey as his own, I have 2 Crested Geckos awaiting shippment to me in the fall when the weather cools... Thus begins the addiction....
