Adding: I got burned out on fish so fast because I purchased 8 at once and went from 0 fish to 8 fish and then at my high point had up to 18 at once while underestmating the care they needed. That's why I'm growing my snake collection one by one so I can make sure that doesn't happen again. I don't want anyone thinking I'm going to grow bored and get rid of them. Also, I've wanted more snakes ever since I was 9 and we got rid of our red tailed boa (my family apparantly didn't realize she'd grow so big and with her... feisty temperament, it wasn't a safe thing for our family). So, just don't want anyone thinking I'll grow bored of them
