When I got my first snake last year I fell completely in love and wanted another within a month. Buuut I was actually really struggling with him that first month, husbandry was all wrong, he wasn't eating and I was so stressed I seriously considered rehoming him because I was sure he would die under my care (I don't think my husbandry was THAT bad but it was a stressful time lol), so I'm seriously glad I didn't end up getting another until about six months later (that didn't turn out well for other reasons that I don't want to get into right now and isn't relevant). I think if I had gotten that second snake I thought I wanted that month I would have ended up regretting it, getting overwhelmed and rehoming both of them.
When I started I thought I would be completely obsessed to the point where I would have twenty within the year (I'm still totally obsessed but I've cooled down with my need for snakes since then lol!). Now over a year later I'm getting ready for my third (but only second that'd be in my care currently) and I couldn't be happier. Also as a side note the only snakes I was interested in last year were balls, I still like them and love the one I have to bits, but if I'm being honest I'm glad I don't have more than one and I'm pretty sure I'll never get another haha.
Anyway, just sharing my experience, obviously this wouldn't apply to everyone but I thought I might as well share
