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 |

Haha, yeah. Very similar for me too.
I got my first snake at the end of May, my second a couple of months ago and then three more at the end of September. I'm currently trying (not really succeeding, ahem) to resist the charcoal that sexybear is trying to sell and I'm patiently (hahaha, yeah right) waiting for next year to get a young Brazilian Rainbow Boa.
The only thing that is stopping me filling my whole house with many different wonderful snakes is my OH.
Still working on OH to let me have a hoggie... gone from 'definitely not', 'no way' and 'nu uh' to 'no'. I think that's progress 
When I got my first snake Apollo I was stunned by how many people have more than one snake (and how many more than one most of them have haha). Now I'm becoming one of them and I totally get it. So many amazing colour morphs (and some great variance within the morphs) and I'm now just thinking 'gotta collect 'em all'. Haha.
I think it will eventually get to the point where I will need a bigger house so that I can have more snakes... That will make it quite an expensive hobby... |

| 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. |

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. |

| Yes it is, you just have to make sure that your sensible though. Too many people have got so many snakes in a short space of time and then flog them as they have a billion corns that they aren't intrested in anymore. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

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... |

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 |

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) |
