I wasn't allowed to have pets as a kid (mom hates animals) and I never had any fasincation with reptiles as a kid (I wanted a cat *so* bad) but I did LOVE dinosaurs! When I was 12 I'd catch frogs that lived in the creek at my mom's condo and keep them in a shoe-box for a couple hours until she got home.
I didn't get into reptiles until 1998 (huge fan of Croc Hunter) when I took my cats to the vet and saw a sign they had up about a corn snake that needed a home, I adopted him and it started from there.
