It was within the first month I graduated college and moved into my first apartment away from home. LOL

The reason being that my parents were just terrified/hated snakes, so didn't let me have one growing up. So once I was free, it really didn't take very long for me to commit. But in the end, turns out I moved back home anyway (to save on the crazy rent around here) and they don't mind all seven of them! haha
