A bit late, but...

Hey All;

I had already made a few posts before seeing this thread, but might as well introduce myself now! A friend of mine has been into snakes for the longest time and I love the hell out of her animals. My dad also used to have a beautiful boa when I was younger and I have always loved snakes and reptiles, so I have wanted to begin my hobby of keeping snakes for a long time. Recently, I drank the kool-aid and bought sweet little Banana Ball Python. A month later, I add a Jungle Sunglow boa. These animals are so amazingly interesting and I find myself obsessively researching them all day long, watching other keeper's videos, etc.

Once I feel more confident in my snake keeping, I hope to get a Jungle Carpet or Brazillian Rainbow Boa next. Anyways, this "hobby" is incredible and I'm stoked to be a part of this community!

Well then, a belated welcome from Down Under.

Ha - I can relate to your desire for more animals. I started a couple of years ago with a Boa imperator and now have an eclectic collection of 18 snakes (I think!) with possibly one more next month.

There's just so many interesting species...

Once you get a taste for the hobby it can be hard to resist. It all started with a common garter snake when I was a kid.... Now we're hovering somewhere around 50 snakes and starting to breed them. You know you're in trouble when you need a spreadsheet to keep track of everyone. :D

Oh yes, it definitely gets you in. At one stage we had 27 pythons and 19 lizards of various kinds. We've now downsized to 11 pythons, and 6 monitors and dragons. Still thinking about a green tree snake, and maybe a lace monitor and a spotted tree monitor.
