started young
I was maybe 3 or 4 years old. My Dad brought home a baby painted turtle, then a box turtle... Nothing was allowed to eat mammals in my home growing up so I kept indigenous herps (turtles and small ground snakes) and released them in the fall. Fast forward to college -> acquired corns, rosy boas, kings, etc. Over a decade ago I graduated from school, started breeding colubrids and geckos. I am still in it but I find myself attracted to insectivorous lizards. My 3yr old daughter is interested in Daddy's pets and Mommy's bearded dragons.
Its now a family hobby.
