I have just checked the date on my first post on this forum and seen it was 13 Sep '12. 5 days later, I picked up 3 new babies  9 days later, I collected No. 4
As most people (I hope) I couldn't help but keep looking at all the new babies out there and the lovely range of morphs available...
I have now agreed to buy 3 more gorgeous babies and will complete purchase on Tuesday with delivery to (quickly I hope LOL) follow!
This is dangerous, soon I will have almost doubled my collection lol AND I got up this morning and carried on looking lol! There seems to be such a range of gorgeousness available at the moment and I am currently struggling with whether to purchase some beautiful adults I have seen too (yes Kev, they are yours lol)...
Ah dear, this is not the danger most people outside the hobby would assume, but its a life changing danger lol |

You see this scenario so many times. It makes me very sad that so many see this as a hobby or a collection and far less as pets, a 20 year commitment to look after them to the very best of your ability. Luckily most on here are very capable and responsible owners. |

All of my snakes are kept separately, I don't think it is worth the risk to cohab them. I have one corn snake in a 3ft vivarium in my spare bedroom (Apollo), one corn snake in a faun (Aphrodite) in my bedroom, and three corns in RUBs in my bedroom (Aurora, Andromeda and Titan).
I intend to house four of them in the top bedroom when they are in the 3 ft vivariums and I have a little alcove which is the perfect size for a stack. I will then have space for two vivariums (a mini-stack) in my bedroom where all the RUBs and the faun are now. (Yes, that is space for 6, not 5...mwah hah hah hah!). I'm also trying to convince the OH to let me get a Brazilian rainbow boa which I've not decided where I can put the adult viv yet as they are a bit bigger than corn snakes so need more space. It's not like I really *need* a kitchen table is it?? 
It really is an addiction so beware! haha. |

Where do you guys keep all your snakes,I'm assuming they are in different vivs? I'd quite like to get more than 1 but wouldn't have much room I don't think |

If I didn't have a sensible hubby to keep me straight I would by now have: several different corn morphs, a hoggie or 2, a housie or 2, possibly a blue beauty, another rainbow (Brazilian this time), a milk....
Arrrrgh!! It is so addictive but I'm doing my best to keep it under control as I would love all the snakes - but not so much the cleaning out once they were all full grown
(Still have every intention of a hoggie and a housie in 2 2ft vivs on top of Corno's 4ft viv... said 'jokingly' to hubby that I'd thought that was a good solution and he just rolled his eyes, but did NOT say no, mwahahaha  ) |

Its my taiwanese thats got the taste for fingers lol - VBB is in a 3x2x2 for now (lots of climby places, he's around 4ft long but slimmer than a corn of that size)
So not done growing yet eh.. I eventually plan to put Monster into a 36x20x36 or 42x20x42 depending on how big he gets. If I could get a VBB into the same size space I'd be sold but can't really afford to have more space dedicated to a single animal (I need to be able to relocate with a minimum of hassle, big cabinets are a show stopper) |

well said, this is why have have managed to exercise some control and only have the two,as much as i would like to have one of each colour it wouldn't be practical! Although mum and o/h have stoped protesting about me getting a BRB so i've taken that as permission |

they are the parents of seth. the kink in the amel motley you can't see, you can just feel it a little bit. she's a lovely snake and doing really well |

Kev the only thing stopping me at the moment is that I feel that being adults, they need vivs and not rubs. Are they the parents of my Seth?
I have some plans in process though and should know one way or another by the end of the week. If it goes my way, I will be in touch pretty smartish, would also like your kinky one
That said, its my bday at the beginning of Nov so... |

they're a lot better looking than the pics show and have a lovely temperament. would be nice knowing they we're going to a good home. |

Awsome! I've done very well i got my first on december last year and I've only just added another. I would have added many more by now if i had the money for it though. That's the only thing thats stopping me, also I dont really have the room for loads of vivs, once ive got the money im just gunna get a stack...or 2 lol. I'm already trying to think how to move the living room around to fit a leopard gecko. You're very lucky to be able to get so many in a short space of time! I'm jealous lol. |
