when i was young my dad would bring home various creatures along the way.. he was an exterminator so of course he found all kinds of things! It started with a ring neck snake in a water bottle my dad brought home and after showing me it, it was released. ever since i HAD TO HAVE a snake.. when my now DH and I turned 18 he got me my first albino burmese, not long after that it started biting, alot... i got pregnant with my son and we got rid of the snake, then a couple years later we were driving in the car and i begged DH for another snake... that night we picked up a BP and the rest is history.

We didnt get a loan from family, we didnt borrow money, exc.. we saved up and bought each morph, we got everything except two females very young so it was as affordable as possible, for the morphs we couldnt afford (the bee, bel, exc) we bought the ingredients and are going to create our own.

As for borrowing money, asking family for help, exc....for almost 6 months my mil had no idea... just now over a year later my parents just found out. Thankfully they were all more excepting them I ever thought they would be.
