chick here, I got started when the kid wanted a snake, hubby was not interested, still not.
of course, I got stuck caring for her after about a month
Once I figured out the many, many different varieties I was hooked.
Friends and family think I'm a freak because of it but LOVE when the babies start pipping, go figure.
I love when I go meet someone to buy a new one and they're shocked when a girl shows up, lol.
