If you haven't already, there is a good chance you may catch the fever. Herping is very, and by that I mean very, addicting.
Signs of herp fever: hanging out on reptile forums, reading reptile books as your bedtime story, subscribing to every reptile owner in existance on youtube, researching reptiles, researching reptiles, researching, researching, owning reptiles, wanting to own more reptiles, wanting to own even MORE reptiles, and lastly, showing an interest in breeding and morphs of reptiles.
^ The above is all me. After I considered owning a pet snake, I caught it. The fever has gotten worse and worse, and now I am as herp-crazed as any expert breeder!
So... if you are considering buying just a snake or a gecko, beware that you may end up buying a lot more than that!
