Exactly I obtained my first when I turned 16 (I'm 23 now) I still have him, and he's my bud. I've always been fascinated with snakes; bringing them home since I was 8. I plan on breeding them next year hopefully, and want to make a good business of it. Not so much for the money, but just for pure passion and love for these animals.
Any way. After my first show last April its just been an ever growing passion.
