Possible new addiction?

[Niki Dunbar]

When I first started looking at this forum I thought I was only get to get to a ball python. And then I spent some time around snakes and decided I wanted something a bit bigger. So I got a red tail boa. Now... Only a week or two later I am already to figure out what I am going to get next... and what to get after that... and that haha

The crazy part is about half a year ago I was terrified of snakes and reptiles. And then I actually spent time around and noticed that they incredibly interesting and dare I say nice/kind animals as long as they are treated fairly and you know what you are doing when around them...

Welcome to the addiction. I started out with an anole and it went downhill from there. Been breeding snakes for about 10 years now and have a small zoo in my home. Just be sure to always research the ones you're interested in before bringing them home and you'll be set!

Niki,

welcome to the madness

[decensored]

haha welcome.

friendly word of advice though, give it some time young avid one.

There's nothing worse than bitting off more than you can chew, or afford.

I started off with one ball python, and it quickly grew to 10 balls, and 2 boas within the next 6 months. The boas alone cost me $40.00 a month. Another $80 or so for the pythons.. $2.00 a week doesn't sound bad when you think about feeding a snake but when you multiply that 10 fold, or 20, or 30 it gets a little harder haha.

Cheers,
Chris.

As much as I want to go out and get a new little friend. (ball python or leopard gecko) I know I will be waiting until at least october! :/
It seems SOOO far away though ahaha. I am hoping to find an albino ball python at reptile show in my area then however. So it will be worth the wait. And plus if I wait I can make sure I don't bite off more then I can chew or pay for.
