Dunno. The only thing thats stopping me getting more is the fact that I travel to and from home and uni... so its not the space at either place, its the space in my car which is the problem! lol

I planed to have one or two, but ended up with with 13 of my own, then all the lizards and inverts. Most of us on here would have to go into rehab if we had to give up our herps.

In August I got my first, which I thought would only ever be the only one I had. September I got my 2nd. THis month I have got 3 more. I think at the minute that 5 is enough for the time being. But for how long I will think that I dont know! Cuz I still want a butter, a bloodred, and a royal........ lol

I was gonna stop at 2. Now at 6 with more planned in Feb.

Probabley draw people in coz

Lots of very different types of snake/lizard etc
Relatively low maintainence
Quiet
Don't really smell or anything
Don't require much attention or socializing, perfect after a long day at work
don't roam all over the house ripping up the furnature, crapping in your shoes
very rewarding if you keep snakes/herps you're really interested in

we could go on I suspect.

Default Why are snakes so addictive?

It's because the shops/breeders lace them all with heroin!
