My first were snakes turtles, and frogs that I caught when I was a kid. We never kept them longer than a few days though, I didn't really know how to care for them. We would abserve them for a few days and then let them go.

I didn't realize I was interested in sankes and lizards until my third husband. We have 10 snakes, 9 lizards, 1 tortoise, 2 English Bulldogs. If it has legs its mine, if not its my husbands!

My first snakes came from a co-worker who was moving and couldn't have snakes in his new place.

My first was a RES when I was 11. The women who sold me the turtle still works for the same store. That was 18 years ago, she hasn't aged a day either, creepy.
Cheers,
Trevor

I suppose the very first would have been a WC snake or salamander from the neighborhood sometime around '72. The first deliberate pet was a tokay gecko from a store in '85. I had the gecko for 6 years until a succession of bad roomates resulted in his premature demise.

I aquired my first pet (a green iguana) when I was four years old from a pet store 20 years ago (and she is still kicking around the house today ).

All my herps are mainly wild caught (or from wc parents). I can only think of about 7 herps that were purchased from stores. My first were frogs and garters from around town when I was a youngin'. I kept them for many years until they died or else I got them from friends and others not wanting or able to care for them any longer. Most herps were just something I caught and let go at that time. I never started seriously collecting until a few years ago.

My first herp is my bearded dragon Meka. I bought her from at the time, one of the better stores around, since then they have succeeded in disgusting me and I will never buy from them again.
My dragon is a sweetie though.
