Guy's I think I'm addicted

[Simon17]

Like the title say's I'm addicted to owning snakes!! I first had a Royal Python (My first snake) for 1.5 years, Then I got a carpet python as my second snake, but at that same time I also took on my friends x2 corns male&female which have already breed before I took them, and now I want my all time fav a common Boa!!

So in x2 years I've gotten x4 snakes, and I want more! I don't go and get sumthing unless i'm ready and have done my research first, but I'm completely into snakes as a hobby and passion which I've never had before with anything!!

Yeah, I'm already doing the gf's head in bout it all! I've named all the types that I want in my collection and eveything!

[bigsnakegirl785]

I want to expand my collection as well, but I will be waiting until I get out of college before I get any more. There's quite a few species I'd like to have. :) I've been looking up info for months on several, watching vids and reading caresheets and things like that.

You lightweight!!! ;) We got our first snake in March 2010 and by Sept 2010 we had 7 snakes and 2 lizards :)

[Wildside]

I currently have 7 snakes, 14 lizards & 1 pacman frog. I'm just getting started again :)

[exwizard]

Yeah well I started 2 years ago and now I currently own 19 including a Burm plus Im snakesitting 4 others. Im moving in with a guy who has well over 100 and close to 150 and I will be helping him to take care of his snakes as well. This addiction is fun and at this point, who knows where it will go. Welcome to the herpers club and may you have as much fun with this as I have.

[CK SandBoas]

With the 16 new baby sand boas that were born last week, I now have a grand total of 41 snakes ,the majority of them het albino paradox and albino paradox sand boas:)

Even then, youre only a hoarder if you insist on keeping way more than you can take care of. Snakes are easy and fun at the same time. :)

[Rogue628]

When I first got into reptiles over 15 years ago, I had several of my own (I was also helping do alot of rescues so the number that was actually living in my house fluctuated) within a year.

I got out of it for a few years and started again a little over a year ago. I started off with a royal and had 10 in 8 months. Now I have two tarantulas as well. I got into snakes to get over my snake fear. Same with the tarantulas. :) I did briefly have an emperor scorpion that a friend gave me he could no longer take care of but it recently died during molt :( Not my favorite thing to keep and I really didn't want it but I also couldn't refuse it. I did learn quite a few things about them, but I doubt I'll ever have another.

I agree with ExWiz....hoarding is when you have more animals that you are capable of taking care of. Most snakes are very easy to take care of as all you truly need to do is get their husbandry down. And out of all the several different types of animals I've had as pets (dogs, cats, rodents, lizards, etc), IMO, they are the easier to take for and the most fun. :)

[Drgnfly2265]

This thread is too funny. I think I'll be happy with just one snake. I haven't got it yet so I'm just trying to get to that step, lol.

[FangsAnarchy]

I have 13 right now and I'm always browsing for more. God I love living undermy own roof!

[Chu'Wuti]

Simon17, welcome to the club!

I go up & down in number; I currently have only 11. Next year should see an improvement on that number! ;)
