I may have a reptile addiction...
I literally just made this account two minutes ago ...
I'm Lindsey, 28, and a middle school teacher in Arizona.
As a kid I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I rescued a beardie off of Craigslist nearly a month ago, and I love him to death. But now I want to add a second reptile to my family ... a ball python.
I'm here to learn.
I think my smaller tank will work for a young python, and if so, the start up cost won't be all that high and it will possibly happen my next paycheck. We'll see.

Re: I may have a reptile addiction...
Just pick a snake. Once you get one you will get more.

Re: I may have a reptile addiction...
Welcome Lindsey, I'm sorry but I need to chuckle. My name is Gary and I'm a Snakaphibianaholic.
I bought my first Frog in March 2013 and now I have 20 different species, I bought my first snake November 2013 and now I have 3...It only gets worse I think. LOL

Re: I may have a reptile addiction...
Welcome.
If you are here telling us you "may" have an addiction....then you do.
Our "12 step program" starts with acquiring more enclosures, thermostats, etc...
