Got my first one January of 2013. I wasn't allowed to have another one while living at home (even though I had purchased a T8 and had it divided and all set up for two). As soon as the plan to move out with my boyfriend's best friends (the three of us all needed to be moved out due to home situations) was set in motion, I pulled the trigger on a leopard female. Since then it seems like I've gotten a snake about every month/every two months since I've been moved out. I'm on number nine right now with definite plans for two more males this season and probably a few more females (pinstripe het clown female, pastel het pied female, etc). This year should be my first breeding year. I should have two females coming of age and breeding size. I really can't do more than 2-3 clutches until my boyfriend and I get our house next year. Then I get a reptile room and my expansion really begins.

Every time I get another one my boyfriend just asks what I got and says cool. I usually show him the snake when I'm still in the "crushing over it faze". I live by the "One" principal with snakes. I never want to think of "the one that got away". If I see it and the quality of it says I have to have it, I make it happen.
