I got my first snake from a petstore.

Looking at votes, most people did.

And the tally currenlty shows that 1/5 of the people got their first reptile from a breeder, and as many got theirs from their backyard. Very interesting.

From the woods behind my house. Used to go out and catch garters, banded waters, rat snakes, king snakes, green snakes, ringnecks, and the occasional copperhead (very carefully). Brought home plenty of turtles and lizards too. I'm not sure what my first snake was but it might have been a rough green. I didn't buy a reptile (black rat snake) till I started college and moved downtown. I got a lot of enjoyment observing animals in their natural habitat and trying to recreate it to some degree at home since there wasn't much out there about reptiles in captivity.

The first reptiles I ever kept were WC Garter Snakes. They were a blast and I learned a lot from them. Years before that, I used to catch frogs and toads in the field behind my house.

My first "real" pet reptile was from a breeder though.
