Rusty,
How many different animals have you posted about getting or wanting to get just recently, and asked for everyone here to tell you how to do it and how to care for them?? Perhaps you'd be better off choosing ONE type of animal you really want to start with, and then doing as much research as you can ( read caresheets, read books, talk to breeders who have that species) and then start with just that ONE?
It's much easier to begin with one species at a time, and learn everything you can, than to know a little about a lot of things all at once. I'm sure the animals would thank you for it.
