Default Why are snakes so addictive?

Hi guys i just got my first snake last week and can already see me owning a huge collection this time next year lol.

They are just too addictive!

This post is just to see how many peoples collections sarted small with the intentions of staying small, and some how managed to get bigger lol.

I think the honest answer is they are too easy to keep, take up little space, and cost relatively little to keep (compared to my dogs at least)

Do seem to find people buying small snakes, buy loads, then end up with too many when they all grow and need bigger accomodation, lol
