Thank you, that's very good advice! This might be hard to answer, but what would you say is a reasonable rate at which to acquire new animals? Or how many animals would be reasonable for a beginner to have in their collection? I imagine this answer varies a lot depending on the type of animal.

I don't want to jump into breeding right away; my plan right now is to get a pair of young Suriname BCCs and perhaps try to breed them in 4-5 years when they are full grown. I'd also like to try building a bioactive vivarium, but there are so many beautiful species to choose from I can't decide which animal I'd like to display. I figured I would wait until I have a better idea of what I want before I start on that project, or just build the vivarium and see if I can keep the plants alive first...

As far as venomous keeping goes, I completely agree that I need experience with non-venomous snakes first. This is more of an end-goal for me rather than something I want to jump into right away.
