Congratulations on catching the bug, my bank balance is smaller, sold my previous house because of the lack of room for cages and now look at having to build a big reptile house. I met my partner 7 years ago and my mum did the usual embarrassing thing with the photos. When she pulled one out of a 10ft carpet we had for awhile, after being run over by a motorbike, he got really excited, then asked me if I would mind him getting some reptiles. I got my license 18 months later and we got our first snake, an adult male spotted. He was great, so gentle and easy to handle. Next we ventured into a pair of beardeds. Five years on and our collection now numbers over 50 animals and have just got my specialist license. That was it, the carpets have to go to make room for the vens we now want. I know I will have to get rid of some more but can't decide what goes next...the beardeds, the major skinks, the frilly, the spotteds, the bhp's? No, I just can't do it, I need that shed, he needs a better paying job and possibly more than the 3 acres we're on now. Thought about trading in my man, hahaha, but then who would make the cages?

Enjoy many long years of a growing collection. Whoever said it was a hobby has never had herps. It's a passion, an obsession, an addiction!
